The Minimalist Entrepreneur

How Great Founders Do More With Less

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.
