I’m speaking with Mark Thompson in this episode. Mark is the founder and CEO of PayKickStart, a subscription management, and affiliate solution that helps entrepreneurs and SaaS companies sell more and manage the payments side of their business with ease.

PayKickStart recently surpassed $1M in ARR, and has really been picking up steam. Aside from PayKickStart, Mark runs Digital KickStart, a sister company that houses a couple dozen other SaaS companies and apps.

This was such a great episode, because Mark is a true raw and bootstrapped entrepreneur, which I always admire and respect, who also happens to be a a non-tech founder in the SaaS game. Mark talks about how PayKickStart was actually built as an internal tool, and how it organically formed into the great business it is today.

We talk about about how he manages his fully remote team, what to look for when hiring overseas developers, he also gives a lot of actionable insights into what PayKickStart is doing to drive up growth, and much more.

This is a jam packed episode you’re going to want to listen to in full. Enjoy!
