I’m Adam, I’ve been creating new Email Marketing technologies for nearly 10 years. This is my 3rd project, with the first already doing millions in ARR.  I’m a unique startup founder because I’m not in SF, I don’t do many of the normal publicity things a startup founder does, shoot, I just created my AngelList profile this week, for GetEmails. I’m pretty lowkey, which I think the truly most successful people all are. I’m also unique because all of my companies have been bootstrapped to millions in ARR. We’ve never had to take on VC investment which has kept our decision-making process very pure and simple.

Unlike my other projects, GetEmails is unique because we’re creating a new category, Email-Based Retargeting and we’re confident that it will become a new standard for Marketers. GetEmails unique technology basically identifies up to 35% of your anonymous traffic from already opted-in third-party lists, then sends you their names, emails, home addresses and more so you can follow up and drive more revenue. It’s 100% CAN-SPAM compliant and bounce-free, and fully legal.

What this means for Marketers is that instead of having to retarget someone with expensive PPC ads, you can now get their email and passively convert them over time, for free. It’s a total gamechanger. Because of that we’re going fullsteam with the launch, we’ve even hired a rockstar growth hacker from SF (AndrewStartups, google him) as our Head of Growth. The team is about 5 people so far, most of us all founders and we’re really excited about it.

We’re a remote company so we’ve got team members from Argentina to Morocco and a typical day is all working autonomously to crush our goals for the week, and then we meet weekly to go over what we need to get done, and then we go off and do it. I’m here in Austin, and I look forward to having more of the team here in the future but it’s not necessary. All my companies have been remotely run and I’m really proud of that.
