Build, Ship and Get Your First User in 30 Days

In talking to dozens of indie makers, a common theme that popped up is the importance of shipping FAST.

There's a whole movement building around this idea of building a portfolio of small products, which when built upon one another, result in a robust side income.

And, there's a strong case to be made for building and shipping small products quickly:

✔️ prevent feature bloat
✔️ keep to a small product that solves a single problem
✔️ force yourself to use the most efficient (not the coolest) tech for the job
✔️ short term, boost your energy with quick results, rather than drain it constantly spinning your wheels
✔️ invest as little time/money as possible so if it fails, it's not a huge loss
✔️ small products = low maintenance

To support creators in building, shipping and getting their first user quickly, I started the Ship in 30 challenge.

During this 30-day challenge, we'll be working closely together as a cohort of 15 makers. The idea is to maximize accountability and support. As part of an IndieStack program, you and your product will also enjoy the boost of our growing platform of largely early adopters to help you land that first customer.

I'm so excited to kick this off and support ambitious indie makers to start building their side project portfolios on their path to building freedom and wealth.

Today, we're on Product Hunt and it would mean the world to me if you showed us a little bit of love.

But most of all, I want to invite you to participate in Ship in 30 if you're a maker who has been sidelining your side project.
