## About
TLDR

Edwin Vlieg is Co-founder & CEO at Moneybird. ## Background

Edwin Vlieg, co-founder and CEO of Moneybird, recounts starting the company from a personal invoicing script during his student years, launching an MVP at €10/month without any business plan and reaching 300 paying customers in year one via community outreach and reinvesting every euro into Google Ads. He explains Moneybird's bootstrap philosophy  -  funding all growth from customer cashflow, prioritizing scalability (e.g., no phone support, 60-70% of support handled by AI, fully automated onboarding) and integrated financial services via an Adyen partnership. He details the Shape-Up project methodology with strategic 'bets' (like the Belgium expansion and the payment account), the lesson from a costly 2012 full software rewrite, and the cultural differences between Dutch and Belgian markets around accountants and VAT penalties. The conversation also covers AI's impact on engineering and support teams, founder work-life balance including a four-month sabbatical, and advice to start naïvely and talk to customers.
