Quit His Job And Made 2 Sales of $15,000

  • Founder of LeanMVP
  • $30,000 in ~6 months

Deepak from India 🇮🇳 is the founder of LeanMVP, an web development agency where they partner with non-technical founders to bring their ideas to life.

He recently posted on Reddit…

📝 There he writes…

A few months back, I quit my full-time software engineering job, where I was making $5k a month.

I started my business to help founders build their products by partnering with them as a Tech Founder.

After two months of getting everything on the road, I closed my first deal of $15k, where I am working with a founder who is building an AI-based A/B testing tool for websites, graphics, and sales copywriting.

Today, I am closing my second deal of $15k more, where I will be helping a non-technical founder build Wedding Planner software.

Looks like he charges a flat $15K to develop the first working version of the product and then plans on charging a monthly retainer to maintain the software 😎

When asked how he finds clients…

I got my first client through Reddit, initially they hired us for just the landing page but trusted us with our work, and signed the complete project contract.

Checking through his profile, he has commented on a lot of people’s queries for projects and offered help, so he likely found that first client by doing this repeatedly 💬

So Deepak is basically working as a “fractional technical partner” for non-technical founders.

Could you do something similar? 🤔

If you’re not all that technical, maybe you could be a fractional partner for…

  • Marketing
  • Finance
  • Operations
  • Strategy
  • Compliance
  • HR

Or something else entirely.

And you don’t have to start with $15K projects. You can start small and increase your rate over time 📈
