He’s Building a Social Club and Virtual Incubator for Startup Founders — Meet Anthony Castrio of Indie Worldwide

Anthony Castrio (@AnthonyCastrio) is the founder of Indie Worldwide — a social club and virtual incubator for startup founders.

As a kid, he used to binge Biz Kids — a show on PBS about kids starting businesses. 

Before he graduated high school, he had read nearly 50 business books. 

He noticed that his heroes (the founders of eBay, Google, etc.) were mostly engineers. 

So when his parents told him he had to go to college, he new he wanted to be a software engineer — that way, one day, he could start his own business. 

As of this recording, Indie Worldwide is generating ~$1,000 in MRR and has more than 2,000 members.

Connect with Anthony on Twitter and sign up for his 100 in 100 days challenge. 

 

Zero to (point) One is hosted by yours truly, Zach Busekrus (@zboozee).    I’m an entrepreneur in residence at a marketing firm by day and building my own start up Sponstayneous by night.    Sponstayneous brings subscribers the best last-minute deals and upcoming steals on Airbnb.  My wife and I co-founded the company while living full-time on Airbnb last year.   There’s a lot of podcasts out there that feature entrepreneurs once they’ve gone public, once they’ve had an exit, or even once they’ve made their first million.   But not as many that feature the first-time Product Hunt launchers, the Indie Hacker that has yet to go viral on Twitter, or the micro influencer who wants to build their first niche product.    And there’s where this show comes in.   Zero to (point) One features a collection of ideas that may go nowhere, or just might change the world. From people you've never heard of, who may just become household names.    A nod to tech founder Peter Thiel's Zero to One framework, Zero to (point) One explores the beginnings of (very) early-stage creators and entrepreneurs whose first chapters are still being written.     Each guest featured on the show has MRR of $500 - $10k (no more and no less) or has 10k - 100k followers on Instagram, TikTok, or Twitter.    Come and meet the next generation of builders wherever you get your podcasts every Friday morning.    If you’d like to be on the show or if you know someone who might be a good fit for the show, send me an email at zach@sponstayneous.com or DM me on Twitter @zboozee.    Finally, be sure to subscribe — who knows?  You may just meet your future co-founder, your next great investment, or the next Steve or Elon right here.
