I’ll always have a soft spot for young parents who are trying to start a business. Starting a business when you have kids (especially infants!), and very little capital, is a whole other level. It’s the “hardest hard mode;” especially for bootstrappers.

No matter your stage of life, the best advice is still: “do what you can, with what you have,” and “start now, start small.” I didn’t really start building indie projects until I was 33 (and had 4 kids aged 3-11). At the time I felt like I was behind; but I’m glad I started.

The irony is: the stage of life where you could really use the flexibility + financial margin of an established indie SaaS is when you’re 25 with a newborn.
(But that’s the hardest time to do anything extra, much less start a business!)Pokaż ten wątek -
For me, my indie SaaS (
@TransistorFM) has given me the most financial margin, the most free time, and the least amount of stress. Again, I’m thankful, but I could have really used this about 11 years ago when I had 2 kids in diapers.

Shout out to all the 22 year olds with newborns and no money. I’ve been there!

It’s a great time to be in your 20s now. Indie SaaS is an established “thing.” It’s way more accessible. There’s a whole culture of young people starting companies. There’s a movement; it’s a pretty special time. (When I turned 20, MailChimp hadn’t even been founded yet)

It’s a great thing to do before having kids and a mortgage if possible

What would u have done differently if you started at say... 20?

Hard to answer that, because I was a completely different person back then. I got married young and had kids young, which dramatically effected the trajectory of my life.
