Amazing story and huge congrats! It's funny how the tool itself seems quite niche-y, but bootstrapping to 1M ARR in 4 years definitely proves that hypothesis wrong; fantastic job :)
- scubakid 1y agoThanks! Initially I had been looking around for an existing tool to use myself, so I knew there was at least one person out there willing to pay for something like this. And r/financialindependence has 2.3m members, so I hoped there might turn out to be more than one.
- fishtoaster 1y agoIt's niche, but I wasn't really able to find anything else like it. I wanted to project our some retirement scenarios and my options seemed to be: - Any of a few dozen "retirement calculators," each consisting of 6 fields and very simple outputs - Building out a series of buggy spreadsheets - Projection Lab After messing around for it a bit, it was a "shut up and take my money" situation. It was cheap, it was powerful, it was nice to use, and it has been the foundation for my personal financial strategy for the last few years!
