153 - Filip Minev

Filip Minev is currently bootstrapping Tally with Marie Martens. Tally is the simplest way to create forms for all purposes in seconds, without knowing how to code and for free!

Prior to starting Tally, he founded Delta (acquired by eToro), an investment tracker app allowing you to track stocks, crypto, ETF's, forex, indices & more.

What keeps him motivated:

• This 1 minute video of David Bowie on why you should never play to the gallery
• This clip from BoJack Horseman. At the closing of season two, the main character is running up the hill with his lungs on fire. When our protagonist is lying on the ground from exhaustion, a calming shadow appears saying: -"It gets easier. Every day it gets a little easier. But you got to do it every day. That's the hard part. But it does get easier."
