G) Have customers pay for it. It's 2018. Serious, you can build a software business using Google Sheets and obfuscate it way by doing manual work. Take profits and reinvest into building the tech. No one technically-minded wants to do that because its hard, not impossible

I love how many people say “build a software business on google sheets and hack it together” — there a some exampless of course but most business problems are much more complex and requires more than that.

I’ve worked with easily over 150+ small businesses. Nearly all of them use Excel for a significant amount of their businesses processes. Is there some complexity? Sure, but it doesn’t mean you can’t solve n% of one of their biz process with an outsourced spreadsheet.

I'm with you. You should give some examples though.

Examples of companies that started that way? Product Hunt and Mattermark are both well known (in SV circles) that started on spreadsheets. Both went on to take VC money to scale. I have a few examples but can’t share bc of NDA (they were acquired and I have non-public info)

Also, content oriented startups, like Product Hunt, Mattermark, Indie Hackers, are almost always acquired early-on because the business model is hard to scale.pic.twitter.com/NXr4KprWie

For the record - mattermark was a true SaaS and is not content based. iirc - They were selling their service from a spreadsheet to VCs and took funding bc the VCs wanted to both use it and see it succeed

Sweet. Were you fully bootstrapped? (Also, I'm curious [as someone's who's bootstrapping a new SaaS], how long before you hit sustainable revenue? That's what keeps me up at night.)
