Welcome to First Million!

Hey there, I’m Elan Anandhan. My goal is to share super-actionable growth insights to early-stage startups. I’ve led marketing for 2 SaaS products through their journey from zero to $1 million in revenue.

I started documenting my learnings by studying how other startups hit their first million in ARR. That evolved into this newsletter.

Every article breaks down the ‘what; and ‘how’ of early-stage marketing. The strategies they used, the bets they placed, and what actually worked.

Who’s this for?
Early-stage founders and marketers figuring out go-to-market and looking for real examples over theory.

If that’s you, subscribe and learn what really moves the needle.
