The manifesto for a new generation of entrepreneurs who would rather build great companies than big ones. Lavingia's startup, Gumroad, was growing quickly and raising venture capital easily. It seemed it was on the road to unicorn status, until disaster struck. Using his experiences and expertise, Lavingia teaches founders instead 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, and how to get to profitability and stay there.
