Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 17 September

Query:

For our Entrepreneur Journeys series, we're looking to interview
founders who have bootstrapped their companies on top of a cloud
platform / PaaS. The company need not be fully bootstrapped, it
could be a Bootstrap First, Raise Money Later story. But the
PaaS angle is a requirement. For background, please read the
blog post, Bootstrapping by Piggybacking
(https://www.sramanamitra.com/2019/12/18/bootstrapping-by-piggybacking/).
The Entrepreneur Journeys (EJ) series is our flagship series and
we're looking for interesting companies with at least $5 million
in annual revenue to feature in lengthy feature stories. We are
interested in interviewing the entrepreneur who can and is
willing to discuss, at length, the nuances of the strategy and
process of company building, spanning topics such as
bootstrapping, financing, positioning, customer acquisition,
channels, team building, etc. To pitch, please provide revenue
level, industry (Our interests: E-Commerce, Cloud Computing,
SaaS, Mobile, Social, Big Data, IoT, FinTech, Digital Media,
Gaming, Healthcare IT, Online Education, etc.) and focus of the
story angle in terms of company-building experience. We use the
revenue level as a qualification criterion for selecting
entrepreneurs to profile. We don't necessarily have to publish
this number in the actual story. The Entrepreneur Journeys
series has already produced 12 books
(http://tinyurl.com/4p4phwy). You can see examples of the series
on our blog (http://tinyurl.com/d8m9mt). This blog is part of
the One Million by One Million global initiative, whose aim is
to help a million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in annual
revenue. We also use the EJ interviews as case studies to teach
other entrepreneurs how to navigate the entrepreneurial waters.
You get publicity, as well as a platform to share your lessons
from the trenches with a large number of aspiring and practicing
entrepreneurs. 1M/1M has syndication relationships with many
venues: HBR, Xconomy, SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes (India),
Women 2.0, Mashable, Huffington Post, Business Insider,
ReadWriteWeb, and several other sites. Articles we develop
through these interviews often get repackaged for the
syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was named by Forbes in the
Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs (http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs). The
procedure is to have a one-hour interview by phone or in-person
in Menlo Park, at our office. We will provide the dial-in for
phone interviews, and the address for the in-person interviews.
