Basecamp Startups

Kimp is a subscription-based design company offering graphic design and video design services for a flat monthly fee. Founded by serial entrepreneur Senthu Velnayagam and his brother Ven, it was built by bootstrapping revenue from their previous design businesses (BannersMall and Doto) after those faced declining market conditions. Within a month of their soft launch in February 2019, they scaled to global traction through social media and Google Ads, eventually building a remote team across multiple continents.

Brandon Epstein built Zendude Fitness as an anti-establishment fitness brand focused on simplifying fat loss and moving beyond physical transformation to life fulfillment. He generates revenue through three streams: a $10/month mastermind community (just launched), $500/month high-level coaching clients, and an Instagram consulting agency charging $300-$1,000/month for clients like Athletic Greens and FitLife TV. His most effective growth channel is Instagram, where he leverages direct messaging and creator collaboration networks.
