Book Synopsis''Pay attention'' - Jason Fried, founder and CEO of Basecamp, bestselling author of ReWork
A revolutionary roadmap for building startups that go the distance
Cracks are forming in the myth of the VC-funded, IPO-driven billion-dollar company. They''re unprofitable, unethical and unsustainable - so why bother chasing unicorns? The Minimalist Entrepreneur is the manifesto for a new generation of founders who would rather build great companies than big ones.
Packed with hard-won, battle-tested lessons from Lavingia''s own journey of building Gumroad, The Minimalist Entrepreneur teaches founders how to start from anywhere to build any kind of software-enabled business. You will learn how to:
resist investments that set you up to fail;
run a tight ship amid the rise of the gig economy and remote work;
develop and release products without failing fast or often;
get to profitability and stay there.
