Profitable Founder Club

“I was hesitant at first. I'd never been part of something like this. But if every group call is that fruitful, this is going to be the best investment I've ever made. And then the Q&A with Nevo? The amount of gold he shared was just... insane.”

Nic PolotniankoFounder of Sequenzy

“1st Mastermind for me here and it did not disappoint. It's so helpful to talk with founders at similar MRR levels as yours. The guests are also special, no BS allowed. They share their screens and actual strategies, things they definitely would not share online, it's wild!!!”

Arnaud BelingaFounder of BreakCold

“I joined Florian's founders mastermind a month ago. It's been one of the best groups I've ever been a part of! Close and tight, everyone is happy to help and share. We had Nevo as a guest 2 days ago, he dropped so much value within 1h (very practical and implementable) that the full 1yr cost of being a part of the mastermind pays off in just that one session.”

Who I am

Hey, I'm Florian.

Currently growing Distribb to $100K MRR with my co-founder Borja, and documenting every step in the vlogs.

I host the Profitable Founder Podcast, where I interview a bootstrapped SaaS founder every week about how they actually got to $100K, $1M, $10M a year. Then I steal their playbook and use it on my own product.

I'm not the guy who already won. Distribb is at $24K MRR, I still lose customers who don't tell me why, and I still stall on the same decisions you do. I'm in the room as a founder posting my own numbers, not as a guru with an audience.

$24K MRR

Distribb today. Public goal: $100K MRR.

7 figures

Scaled my previous business to seven figures.

$120K

Built and exited my previous website.

70K+

Audience across YouTube, X, Instagram and the newsletter. Built from zero.

Why this exists

SaaS is hard enough. Building it alone makes it harder.

Most people around you don't understand what you're doing.

Your friends don't know why one customer churning can ruin your day. Your family can support you, but they can't help you decide whether to change your positioning, kill a feature or keep pushing through a plateau.

And the internet mostly shows the exciting parts. The launch. The MRR screenshot. The funding announcement. The exit.

Not the months spent wondering whether the product is good enough. Not the customer who cancelled without explaining why. Not the week where nothing moved. Not the doubt that shows up even when the business is objectively doing well.

Profitable Founder exists for everything between the milestones. A room of founders who understand, because they're building too.

Six things.

What happens inside, every week, every month, and when you need it.

Your batch

7 to 10 founders at your stage

Same MRR band, same goal, no competitors, a few hours of timezone apart at most. Matched from what you tell me when you join, checked by hand. Your batch gets its own channel and its own call.

This is what worked in Batch #1. Now it's the whole product.

Every Wednesday

The weekly batch call

One hour, same slot every week, your batch picks the hour. Two hot seats per call: 5 minutes of numbers, 15 minutes of the room working your problem, 5 minutes of written commitments. Everyone sits twice in 12 weeks.

The host rotates. There's a script. It runs without me when it has to.

Every month

Live Q&A with Florian

Everyone together, once a month. You vote on the topic: positioning, distribution, SEO, pricing, churn, focus, founder doubt. I work through as many questions as possible, sometimes with a guest from the podcast.

Every session is recorded.

Your progress

Founder build logs

Document your progress alongside other members. What you shipped, your current goal, what you tested, what happened, where you're stuck, what you're committing to next.

You don't need to publish daily or manufacture wins. The build log exists to keep you moving, and to let other founders learn from the real process.

When you need it

Honest feedback

Sometimes you don't need another strategy. You need someone to tell you the positioning isn't clear, you're building too much, you haven't spoken to enough customers, you're avoiding distribution, this experiment needs more time. Or that you're closer than you think.

Get perspective before wasting another month solving the wrong problem.

The part that compounds

Founder relationships

Meet people you can exchange feedback with, share resources with, introduce to customers, collaborate with, learn alongside. People you can call when you're facing a decision nobody else understands. The member directory is tagged by stage and by what each founder has already solved (churn, pricing, onboarding, first 20 customers), so you find the one who fixed your problem last quarter instead of asking the whole room.

The right founder relationships compound far beyond one conversation.

How batches work.

You've been in dead Discords. So have I. This is why this one has a structure.

Day 0

You pay, answer the five questions (stage, problem, what you can help with, goal before 2027, Wednesday availability) and join the Discord.

Until Wednesday

You introduce yourself in the general chat with your numbers. I read every intro and check every site.

Wednesday

Batches are formed: same stage, same goal, no competitors, compatible hours. Your batch channel opens and you vote for the call hour.

12 weeks

Week 1 intros. Weeks 2 to 10 hot seats. Week 6 numbers review. Week 12 demo day. Then the batch is yours to keep.

You don't owe the room activity. You owe it showing up on Wednesday.

Sit next to someone six months ahead.

Some members are shipping their first version. Some are trying to reach $1K MRR. Some are working through a plateau at $10K MRR. Some already run a profitable SaaS and want to keep growing without giving up control.

That spread is the point. The most useful reply to a founder stuck at $2K rarely comes from someone at $200K. It comes from the founder at $8K who fixed the exact onboarding problem three months ago and still remembers how.

Different products. Different markets. Different stages.

But everyone is actively working toward the same thing: a profitable, bootstrapped SaaS business.

Wherever you are, someone in the room is there too.

Built for the entire journey, from before revenue to the difficult days.

Before revenue

Ship the product, talk to customers and stop hiding behind another month of building.

First customers

Find out why people buy, improve the offer and start building repeatable distribution.

Early traction

Turn inconsistent sales into a clearer acquisition system.

Growing MRR

Work through churn, positioning, hiring, focus and the bottlenecks that appear as the company grows.

The difficult days

Talk honestly about doubt, plateaus, motivation and the pressure of carrying a business.

Because building a profitable SaaS isn't only a product problem. It's a founder problem too.

A community of operators.

The quality of the room depends on everyone contributing to it.

Profitable Founder is for you if

You're actively building a SaaS
You have paying customers, any MRR above $0, verified
You're bootstrapping, or intend to stay independent
You've started shipping, not only collecting ideas
You want customers and profit, not fundraising headlines
You're willing to share what is actually happening
You can give as well as ask
You want long-term founder relationships
You understand that building something worthwhile takes time

There is no minimum MRR beyond your first paying customers. You don't need a large audience. You don't need to have everything figured out. But pre-revenue is not accepted: the Club runs on real numbers, and you prove yours before you pay, with Stripe, Lemon Squeezy or a screenshot Florian checks by hand.

This isn't for

People still looking for the perfect SaaS idea
Passive content consumers
Founders searching for overnight MRR
People expecting private consulting for $97
Anyone interested only in promoting their product
People unwilling to help other members
Founders who want someone else to do the work

The quality of the room depends on everyone contributing to it.

Why I'm building it

I know what building alone feels like.

Over the last decade I've built more than twenty projects. Some failed. Some made money. Some became businesses and exits. Here's the whole list, as I posted it:

Florian Darroman@floriandarroman

10 years of bets to get internet money 💰 2016: Facebook buzz page: $0 2017: Affiliate Website 1: $4K 2018 Affiliate Website 2: $30K (exit $24k) Affiliate Website 3: $12K (exit $5k) Affiliate Website 4: $70K (exit $38K) 2019 Affiliate Website 5: $3K Affiliate Website 6: $0 Affiliate Website 7: $3K Affiliate Website 8: $80K (exit $7,000) 2021 Affiliate SEO Course v1: $400K Affiliate Website 9: $5K (exit $1,5K) 2022 Affiliate Website 10: $200k (exit $120K) 2023 Twitter Course: $30K Affiliate Website 10: $20K (exit $4,5k) 2024 Affiliate SEO course v2 $400K 2025 IsThisCourseLegit?: $0 (big fail) Streakr: $145 Traack: $0 (founder left me) Distribb v1: $500 2026 Openclaw Lab: $13K Distribb v2: $30K Profitable Founder Club: $10K Total revenue: $1,310,645 Total from exits: $200,000 76% of my revenue came from 3 products. Not a lot of fail in this list, but if I count the time I spent on certain project, it was definitely a huge loss (and I probably forgot a lot of them). Inspired by the man @levelsio and @thepatwalls

Even with revenue, an audience and years of experience, I still have days where I doubt everything. Days where the business feels boring. Days where a two-week plateau feels like failure. Days where I compare myself to founders younger, richer and further ahead.

Building a successful company doesn't make those days disappear. Being surrounded by the right people changes how you move through them.

That's why I'm building Profitable Founder. Not another place to talk about SaaS. The room I want beside me while building one.

Join the room from the beginning.

Yearly membership. You join early, you pay the least, and your price stays locked for as long as you stay. Every step is public, right here, and the counter is live. When a tier sells out it never comes back.

Your membership includes

Private community access, all year, every year you stay
Monthly live Q&A with Florian
Every Q&A recording
Founder build logs
Feedback from other SaaS founders
Member directory and introductions
Founding member recognition
A say in how the community is shaped

For bootstrapped SaaS founders with paying customers

$97 once

Yearly, cancel anytime, your price locked. Use the 14 days as the test: post your numbers and your blocker in week one. If nobody useful answers, refund, no questions.

Questions, answered.

Do I need existing revenue?

Yes. At least one paying customer. Pre-revenue founders are not accepted for now, however good the idea. Before checkout you show your MRR: a read-only Stripe key, a Lemon Squeezy key, or a screenshot of your revenue page that Florian verifies by hand. Any amount above $0 gets you in.

Is this only for SaaS founders?

Yes. Keeping the community focused means the founders inside face similar problems: product, positioning, distribution, customers, churn and MRR.

Is this a course?

No. There are recordings and resources inside, but content isn't the core product. The room, the relationships and the conversations are the product.

Can I ask Florian questions?

Yes. You can submit questions for the monthly live Q&A. Membership doesn't include private consulting, individual audits or guaranteed answers inside the community.

How are batches formed?

From what you tell me when you join: your MRR stage (verified through Stripe when you connect it), the problem you want solved in 90 days, what you can help with, your category and who you sell to, your timezone and your Wednesday availability. Batches are 7 to 10 founders within one stage of each other, no competitors, with at least one shared Wednesday hour. I check every site by hand before a batch opens.

When are the calls?

Wednesdays, one hour, every week for 12 weeks. Your batch votes for the hour among the slots that work for everyone. After the 12 weeks, the batch keeps its channel and decides its own rhythm.

What if I join on a Thursday?

You're in the general chat, the resources and the Q&A right away, and you're in the next batch formed. Batches open on Wednesdays.

What happens after the 90 days?

The batch is yours: channel, people, rhythm. If your verified MRR crossed a stage during the program, you're offered a seat in a new batch at the next level.

Where is the community hosted?

Inside a private Discord server. Intentionally simple, with a small number of focused channels.

Why yearly?

One payment a year, cancel anytime. The price you join at is the price you keep, even when it goes up for the next members. A room that stays is worth showing up for every year.

Why is the founding price lower?

Because you're joining before the community has years of conversations, recordings and member stories. Founding members get the best price in return for joining early and helping establish the culture. The ladder above is the whole pricing policy.

Is this an audience for Florian, or a room of operators?

A room of operators. I'm in it as a founder at $24K MRR posting my own numbers and stuck points, and the intros require real MRR and a real blocker. If you want podcast clips and motivation, the YouTube channel is free.

What if the Discord is dead?

A dead room is my risk, not yours. I reply to every founding member's intro myself within 48 hours, there's a weekly numbers thread, and the 14-day refund exists exactly for this. Post your numbers in week one and judge the replies.

How much time does it take?

About twenty minutes a week: one intro, one weekly numbers thread, the monthly Q&A if you can make it. You don't owe the room activity. You owe it honesty when you show up.

What if it's not for me?

14-day refund, no questions asked. After that, no refunds for the year, and you can cancel the renewal anytime.
