Amar Ghose has been growing Zenmaid from idea to market leader as a non-technical founder. Zenmaid is a SaaS platform that’s been helping maid service owners grow their businesses since 2013. Amar is one of those amazing founders who truly embodies the bootstrapping spirit—when his co-founder left early on at just $15k in monthly revenue, he could have easily given up. Instead, he stuck with it, and through relentless customer focus and persistence, he’s built ZenMaid into a $150k per month business over the past 12 years.
What makes Amar’s story particularly inspiring is that he’s a non-technical founder who used a customer development approach from day one, really listening to his market and building exactly what maid service owners needed. He’s also created an incredible content marketing ecosystem around ZenMaid—from YouTube channels to the Maid Summit conference to podcasts—always focused on helping maid service owners succeed rather than just selling software.
We’re talking about the power of persistence in bootstrapping, how to build as a non-technical founder, the importance of customer development, and how to create content that truly serves your community. We’ll also dive into building a remote-first, location-independent company and staying focused on your customers’ success over quick growth.
