"Pay attention。"--Jason Fried

A revolutionary roadmap for building startups that go the distance


Cracks are forming in the myth of the VC-funded， IPO-driven billion-dollar company。 They're unprofitable， unethical， and unsustainable--so why bother chasing unicorns？ The Minimalist Entrepreneur is the manifesto for a new generation of founders who would rather build great companies than big ones。

Packed with hard-won， battle-tested lessons from Lavingia's own journey of building Gumroad， The Minimalist Entrepreneur teaches founders how to start from anywhere to build any kind of software-enabled business。 You will learn how to:

- resist investments that set you up to fail
- run a tight ship amid the rise of the gig economy and remote work
- develop and release products without failing fast or often
- get to profitability and stay there。


The Minimalist Entrepreneur offers essential knowledge for every founder aspiring to build a business worth building。
