My father asked me to create Windows apps for the hospital department where he worked as a doctor (calculating drug dosages and the nutritional needs of preterm infants). I figured that there might be others with a similar need and eventually created a SaaS app builder that is currently my full-time job. It's been almost 20 years since that original request. https://www.calcapp.net/blog/2018/04/09/launching-after-15-years.html https://www.calcapp.net/blog/2018/04/09/launching-after-15-y...
- baq 4y agoYet another proof that no 1 value that an entrepreneur should have is dedication. Congrats!
- davidpolberger 4y agoThanks!
- matsemann 4y agoInteresting story, cool to see how you persevered with the same thing for almost two decades.
- davidpolberger 4y agoThanks. I did lots of other things in parallel during the early years. I left my last consulting gig in 2014, so I have been doing in full-time since then. Yeah, it takes a lot of perseverance to get a startup going. (Or rather, a lifestyle business in my case -- it's not a rocket ship, but I get to work on interesting things and interact with friendly customers, so it really is a great job.)
