Founder: 100 days to first $1,000 MRR on Ferryman — consistency beats instant traction
KevinNaughtonJr · x · 2026-11-07
Kevin Naughton Jr. reflects on building Ferryman: the first 100 days are the hardest, and that's when most quit. It took him 100 days to reach his first $1,000 MRR, with the key being solving a real problem, talking to users, and improving the product daily. His takeaway: you need consistency and a long time horizon, not instant traction.
