Does Gumroad count? We raised VC but most of that was bought back or written off. I run it by myself now.
Gumroad helps creators sell digital products directly to their audiences. We're expanding to Memberships this year.
I wrote about most of the story here: https://marker.medium.com/reflecting-on-my-failure-to-build-a-billion-dollar-company-b0c31d7db0e7 https://marker.medium.com/reflecting-on-my-failure-to-build-...
And COVID-19 has been a boon, as we help folks earn a living from home. We'll see if it sticks!
- droobles 7y agoI read your story on the history of Gumroad and it's inspiring, and a great service!
- patricklouys 7y agoThanks for creating it. I sold the ebook variation of my book through Gumroad and it was a very good experience. Looking forward to the membership part, might use it for another project of mine.
- willnz 7y agoI remember hearing Gumroad became it's own acquirer (for Visa/MasterCard), is that correct? If so, surely that wouldn't have been possible without VC funding?
