I’m an entrepreneur with both technical and marketing backgrounds, I founded 5 tech startups, all of which sought and found revenue from the outset. And I founded Leancamp.

Around The Corner was my last startup and biggest failure.
a) because I didn’t go for revenue first
a) because I didn't kill it fast enough when it wasn’t working
b) because I didn't have to since i was funding it myself

(One of the risks of bootstrapping is your stick with a bad idea and keep dumping your own money into it. Outside funders aren’t so forgiving.)

around the corner
He started with the top page - and put that out to some tech community websites. He wanted to see if people would click the
plans and pricing page, demonstrating their intent to buy. (This is better than asking them, which tells your their stated intent,
not actual intent.)
When they were clicking on that, he knew there was intent to buy, but at what price? So he tested that too
. Joel went from idea to first paying customer in 7 weeks, working on Buffer in his evenings and keeping his day job as a coder.
(Notice that he wasn’t coding BufferApp, just testing the market!) A few months later, he was making enough to pay himself and
bring in his co-founder, Leo.
Thanks.
