How a solo founder grew to 100K+ followers by keeping things simple
When Dagobert Renouf started posting on Twitter, he didn’t have an audience.
And he didn’t use “growth hacks,” ghostwriters, or viral threads.
He was just a solo founder trying to get attention for his startup.
Nothing worked—until he stopped following the usual advice.
Instead of trying to look smart, he focused on being relatable.
Instead of forcing threads, he posted short, honest reflections and memes about the founder journey.
He spoke to one audience — indie hackers — and showed up consistently.
One meme. One insight. Every day.
But that’s not all.
In the early days, Dagobert engaged like crazy — replying to tweets, jumping into conversations, and showing up in the replies where people actually read.
That rhythm turned into recognition.
His timeline became his brand.
And that brand now has over 100,000 followers.
Why did it work?
Because it was focused, honest, and consistent.
Because he built trust, not just reach.
Because he didn’t try to please everyone — only the people he truly understood.
If you’re trying to grow your audience without spending hours online, his approach is worth studying.
This week’s post breaks down the exact strategies Dagobert used to grow — and how you can apply them even if you’re just getting started.
