Parking Ticket Hustle to $210M Valuation

A great example of starting small and simple is DoNotPay.com, which recently hit a $210 million valuation 🤑

Today the site is touted as a “robot lawyer” service; basically a chatbot that provides legal services, such as refunds on flight tickets, filing small claims, and notarizing documents.

But it was started by 18-year-old Josh Browder back in 2015. He had successfully appealed several traffic tickets for himself, and decided to start a website showing other people how to do the same. Two weeks later, the first version of the site was online.

A few days ago, Josh reported that the site earned $118,496 net profit in February 📈

Josh’s words from a 2020 interview…

I could never have imagined that DoNotPay would ever become any sort of company when I was just fighting my parking tickets. I would say to just pursue an idea; you don’t need anyone’s permission.
