$4.5m ARR. $0 raised.
I have no idea what I'm doing.

I'm Tom, I post a lot on LinkedIn, bootstrapped Fame to $4.5m (80 team members and $0 raised) and write/host the Cash Machines newsletter/podcast.

I live in London with arguably the cutest dog ever (Bear), our super cute daughter and my wonderful partner Tiz.

Jan 2014

I'm walking home from a depressing New Year's trip to Oslo with an ex. girlfriend.
It's raining in East London.

I made a decision

I would replace my management consulting salary (£42,000) by the end of the year. I had no idea from where, but that was the goal...

I just about hit it and left the corporate world. And I haven't been back since.

Fast forward a decade

And I've:

  • Tried and failed with 17 businesses
  • Invested in 11
  • Learnt a LOT

The one that is finally working is called Fame

  • We have a weird culture (in a good way)
  • We start and grow podcasts for B2B businesses
  • We are fully remote and have 71 full-time team members

I live for our awesome team at Fame, building businesses and great B2B marketing
