Paperless Pipelineby Dane Maxwell
Dane Maxwell built Paperless Pipeline in 2009 as a bootstrapped SaaS for real estate transaction management. By identifying an existing pain point (agents managing paperwork inefficiently) rather than trying to create new behavior, he grew the product to 1,460 customers generating $180-185k MRR ($2.1M ARR). After stepping away years ago, the fully self-managed business continues to thrive under a CEO with 25% profit margin incentives.
