The two of you could probably bootstrap your expertise into a non-VC, multi-$M ARR Javascript performance consultancy, taking peoples code and finding 5-10X speed ups through better JavaScript.
You could have a great lifestyle and a great business after a few years of work and growing a team of skilled JS performance experts.
Eventually you would probably stumble your way into a solid product once you had solved enough customer problems to see the commonalities (or through your internal tooling etc).
- kevmo314 4y agoI agree, there's a huge opportunity for a concierge service here that would lead to a stable product. The experience doesn't have to end here. Having a low-engineering concierge service first and then incrementally building solutions is a great way to find real problems.
- caffeine 4y agoJust a follow up on a practical way to actually do this: turn each “User” into a 30-minute conference talk with a slide deck showing techniques you used, performance metrics, etc. Pitch them to the various JS conferences and go give the talks. Release them as YouTube videos, and blog posts. Mention the fact that you are available to help teams optimise their front end code, and love doing it. I think this process would take 3-6 months and you would have a great brand from which to build your business.
