It actually starts with a completely unrelated anecdote:
"What do you even need funding for?"
I agree. The author claims to have multiple $10K MRR websites running on $20 costs. I also don't understand what he needs money for — shouldn't the $x0,000 be able to fund the $20 for the next project? It doesn't make any sense at all.
Then the author trails off and tells us how he runs on $20/month.
Well, why did you apply for funding? Hello?
Just because you start this lean doesn’t mean you should stay that way. Perhaps he’s now spending too much time managing his stack and not enough time on product development, customer service, a/o growth.
In other words, what gets you to $10k MRR isn’t the same thing(s) for 2x, 5x, or 10x that.
One can only assume the funding was needed to be able to afford K8s and postgres? /s
