HOW BASE44 SOLD FOR $80M IN 6 MONTHS

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

Zero to exit in 180 days. Maor Shlomo bootstrapped Base44 to an $80M all-cash exit by using AI to generate nearly 100% of the frontend code. This allowed the founder to ship a "batteries included" platform (database, auth, and backend pre-wired) where users built apps via text prompts. By focusing entirely on the magic moment - getting a user to a working app in under 60 seconds - the company hit $3.5M ARR with zero ad spend.
