Poll: What do you call yourself? Indie Hacker? Bootstrapper? Something else?

I call myself Fabri, or Fabricio.

I don't put another title on me.

I call myself a degenerate newb

“Entrepreneur” is succinct and something everyone can understand, so that’s what I use when introducing myself.

I dislike literally all of those terms. When people ask, I usually say that "I build and sell software", which is what I feel represents best what I actually do -- and it's a more future-proof description. When I absolutely have to choose a single word to refer to myself, I usually go with "Founder" though.

Also, these terms are not really interchangeable. I'm a solopreneur, but not a bootstrapper since I've technically raised money. One could be a solo founder, but have employees and therefore not be a solopreneur (which I believe implies a one-man shop). Indie hacker, not really sure what it even means.

I would like to be called a bootstrapper and working on how to build a valuable company while bootstrapping. However there were some facts which i learned as well:

I'm not partial to any name in particular. They all mean the same thing I'd say. Labels are kinda overrated too.

But there is always the inevitable question, "What do you do?" and I find the word entrepreneur to be pretentious. Indie hacker is a good middle ground. It communicates to people that I'm striving to build a unique life for myself, built on a digital business.

I'm surprised "entrepreneur" and "founder" didn't make the cut.
