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.

  • Keep it dead simple; don't hire a team before you have traction.
  • Build a portfolio of products that share an audience.
  • Make your SaaS usable by AI agents, not just humans.
  • Bootstrap and stay profitable rather than raise money.
