Drivelo

Today we exited Drivelo with a handover taking place over the next 3 months. While a lot could be said about whether one is ever truly happy with an exit it felt for us to be the right moment. We can now focus on our other ventures and know that the acquirer will take good care of Drivelo.

While drivelo has been mostly a time- and money-sink for the last three years we started the year with new partnerships that bring in 3000 € per month in mostly passive income.

Over the years we managed to grow the project to a point where maintenance is almost not necessary anymore so that we finally create mostly passive income from the project.

One year after starting we launched with our first paying customers and onboard their legacy customer databases with custom written importers.

As always the best plans go out the window once they encounter production so we had to quickly adapt to unforeseen issues but managed to stay on schedule.

Once Jerry's dad decided he didn't want to continue supporting the legacy Windows application of GeAuEc he asked us to take over and either continue to maintain it or to develop a new version. We opted for the second approach and started development with a first commit of a README file.
