How they build
- A great domain name can be the business idea itself — let the name inspire the project.
- Partner with a real domain expert (like a farmer) and be the web person.
- Focus small job boards and shops on a single niche industry.
- Run a portfolio so one project's rough year is cushioned by the others.
- Purpose and customer relationships matter more than squeezing out profit.
- Start small: begin with tiny products before attempting a big SaaS (the stair-step approach).
- You do not need venture capital to build a meaningful, life-changing SaaS.
- Focus relentlessly on one product and one marketing channel that works.
- Pick B2B niches where customers pay for a painful problem.
- Optimize for freedom, relationships and purpose, not just valuation.
