The Minimalist Entrepreneur
How Great Founders Do More with Less

“Pay attention.”—Jason Fried

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.
 
 
The Minimalist Entrepreneur offers essential knowledge for every founder aspiring to build a business worth building.
