Quando vale ABANDONAR o CLT pra apostar 100% PRÓPRIO NEGÓCIO

Growing 38,000 customers single-handedly without a sales team? Michel Ank, a tech-obsessed founder, left a stable career at Vale to run a SaaS Instagram automation company—and people think it was "magic." Michel Ank spent 13 years at Vale, leading software integration projects and implementing systems in 16 countries. In 2015, he started building an Instagram automation platform, Boomilica, in his free time, while still working a regular job. The business really took off: it operated with more than 10 employees, 2,000 machines on AWS, and 38,000 simultaneous clients, almost all through SEO and affiliate marketing. Ank recounts how he took the risk of leaving his R$13,000 salary to live off SaaS during the height of the growth tools hype, talks about the behind-the-scenes aspects of the market, painful pivots, and how dependence on platforms like Instagram can kill your business overnight. What's covered in this episode: How the lack of ERP and integration forced the multinational Vale to run a billion-dollar project "on a makeshift basis" until 2011 The day Michel's entire team was laid off abroad, he realized he was a hostage to the mining budget and decided to become an entrepreneur Why he refused 50% of a chocolate e-commerce business to understand the sales game "from the inside" before fully investing in SaaS How Michel automated manual Instagram actions, saw a booming foreign tool, and spent six months coding at night until his MVP was ready The real-life case of building SaaS without a sales team, relying only on incredible SEO, top affiliates, and hardcore digital marketing Why reaching 38,000 customers doesn't prevent your business from failing when it depends on a third-party platform: the bombshell at the turn of 2019 The secret to retention: a premium plan with no features, just VIP service, and people willing to pay 3x more without even looking Watch the episode Full video:    • De CLT No Interior a Founder Que Roda Mais...   So, what do you think?
