I note neither your post or the one you replied to contain any quantitative data about how many profitable solo businesses there are.

I note neither your post or the one you replied to contain any quantitative data about how many profitable solo businesses there are.
- encoderer 7mo agoI know over a dozen 1-2 person SaaS, not including my own. Some of them have hired some help now but they are still more on the "lifestyle business" side. They are in many different spaces, and founders from around the world. I am not a big networker, but this is my niche and it's big enough that I just know a slice.
- jemmyw 7mo agoI don't know any. I know a couple of people who had ideas that became bigger startups, but only 1 who was a friend rather than via networking. And I know a few people who did try the small saas or other small software based business but they all failed and now have jobs.
- encoderer 7mo agoThere’s one on the front page right now - healthchecks.io
- jemmyw 7mo agoOk? My point wasn't that they don't exist, I was just pointing out that anecdata from one person who is deeply into a group where it's a thing has large counter points. And I thought my example worth mentioning because my group is into it but nobody amongst it has made a success of it.
- encoderer 7mo agoJust an fyi
- dasil003 7mo agoThis is such a middlebrow dismissal. Like yeah, people are speculating based personal experience and knowledge, so what? If you have a different viewpoint or something specific you'd like to see data on call it out and engage in the discussion. Don't just be the "data or GTFO" guy because that's a super bland and pointless take.
