How they build

Jon Yongfook avatarJon Yongfook

  • Shipping is a muscle; launch often to stay in shape.
  • Focus on one product once it shows signs of life.
  • Sharpen positioning around the customer's real job, not your technology.
  • Bootstrap and grow at a sustainable pace, sharing numbers along the way.

Miquel Palet avatarMiquel Palet

  • Solve the integration pain you keep hitting yourself.
  • Start self-serve with a free plan and simple monthly tiers.
  • Win developers with bottom-of-funnel SEO and great docs, then add paid ads and creators.
  • Stay small: a handful of developers can run a $1M ARR API business.
