I'm Sahil, founder of Gumroad and author of The Minimalist Entrepreneur. AMA.

Started as a weekend project in 2011, Gumroad has grown–with its fair share of ups and downs–to helping 94,000+ creators earn over $500,000,000. In February 2019, I published a Medium essay, “Reflecting on My Failure to Build a Billion-Dollar Company,” that struck a chord with thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs who’d much rather build a sustainable business like Gumroad than chase a binary billion-dollar-or-bust outcome. I wrote The Minimalist Entrepreneur to help anyone start, build and scale their own sustainable business. AMA!

Hey Sahil, I have started building projects recently and now I am gonna make "12 projects in 12 months" the ideas I have are more info products circling around curation. You say, "Just make 10 projects" and do you think this could be a good start to build? (Because I am clueless about the quality of my project ideas) Thanks.

Hey Sahil, what's the biggest thing you learnt about creators when building Gumroad?

The Minimalist Entrepreneur is a good book for founders, i found the intro very insightful and a useful guide.

Hi, Sahil! Do you plan to add the ability for creators to sell for crypto ?
