Alex has sold his bootstrapped startup Taplio to another bootstrapped startup, Lemlist, since we recorded this episode - a big deal in the bootstrapped world. And it wasn't his first venture and entrepreneurship experience. In fact, he exited a few startups already.

Alex is now working on Omni, which assists in the creation and implementation of an Omni Channel outreach system that generates more sales from difficult-to-reach prospects and automatically closes high-quality B2B clients. In just 10 minutes a day.
