100 customers is a solid business. If you charge enough money you can live off a 100 customer business or find a buyer.
I'm running this challenge with Indie Worldwide. We want to help make several new $10kMRR+ founders by the end of the 100 days.
Here's how the challenge will run:
1. Tomorrow we'll have a kick-off event (recorded for people who can't come live).
2. After that we'll split into mastermind groups to meet up with weekly.
3. Once a week you'll get an email to update your numbers.
100 users in 100 days is not an easy goal, but it is an achievable goal.

@anthonycastrio Looks awesome! Would be great to add some categories for each product (SaaS, Tech, Sales, etc, B2C), and maybe people who submitted those products to your website. I think lots of substack users would love to become a part of this too.
Maker
@eugenehp Excellent idea, wish I'd thought of it. I think I'll implement this tomorrow once I've had some sleep so I don't mess things up by accident. 💯
@anthonycastrio this is awesome! is there any sort of support infra around this ? it'd be super dope to have some sort of 1:1 / 1:5s where people can walk through growth challenges and customer acq. stuff
Maker
@krrish_dholakia At the kickoff we're dedicating half the meetup to 1:1's and everyone will have the opportunity to join a recurring mastermind group for weekly support/feedback. Other events TBD!
Looks like fun. Not sure I'll be able to make the 1am kick-off meeting though - fun fact, roughly 1/4 of the world's population lives on UTC+8, so when you make things at 1am on this timezone, you're excluding almost 1/4 of the world.

@rossdcurrie Kick-off will be recorded for everyone that can't make it.
Awesome, wish this existed when I was launching.
I would love the ability to like/upvote, bookmark, categories, search, filter and maybe even user profiles.
Let me know if you decide to add those features (can be done in a few hours).
Maker
@volkandkaya Thanks Volkan :D And filtering wouldn't be too hard to implement, upvoting and profiles would be more work. A bit limited by using Google Sheets as my backend. Will definitely be shipping some QoL improvements over coming week.
I've been a member of Indie Worldwide for the past several months and the value Anthony provides to the members is just incredible! 100 in 100 challenge is a product of Anthony listening and talking to his members to know how to best to provide value that helps members with their businesses. Having Anthony by your side is an asset!

@anthonycastrio Congrats on the launch, yes I think a needed sleep is in order. I did happen to watch you update the page almost all last night. :D Good luck!
Maker
@greg_x_willis Thanks Greg, I got a good night's sleep in and I'm feeling fresh again.
Awesome stuff!
Looking forward to getting going with https://frontwork.dev and reaching 100 customers!
A fan of any community-fueled initiative, especially one that keeps founders accountable. Best of luck to all the participants! Will definitely be perusing the list to see any products I should be using.
Congrats on the launch. I have been a part of Indie Worldwide for a couple of months and I have had few conversations with Anthony. He is brilliant & he tries to help anyone & everyone in the community. 100in100 is an amazing concept & I hope it gives the startup community a push.

@anthonycastrio awesome! Congratulations !! Anthony is very dedicated to helping every member of the community and connecting them with interesting peers.
Wow! Interesting list of startups! Can I join with non-profit w/o paying customers?
Maker
@razbakov Probably, we could count your new donors perhaps. How does your non-profit work?

@soleneoudet Thank you Solene! The conversation you had with the panel discussion last week helped me improve this launch 💯
