$1M startup ideas are everywhere. You just need to unlearn your scarcity mindset.
After years of running @RamenClubHQ, I noticed many of the best ones aren't "new".
3 frameworks I keep seeing from founders:
1. Build a direct competitor with your own spin (e.g. Tiiny Host)
2. Take a proven idea to a new market (e.g. Data Fetcher)
3. Spot growing search trends, build on them (e.g. Hovercode)

rooting for tibo. just finished listening to @napkinmathfm episode
New Napkin Math Episode just dropped.
We covered one of the amazing founder stories that exist in the world today.
The story of James Dyson.
Let us know what you think?
By 41, James Dyson had failed 5,127 times.
Most people would have quit...
He started @Dyson instead and turned it into a multi-billion dollar empire.
We broke down lessons every founder must learn from his story👇
We also covered this in one of the episodes: youtu.be/vdCi2GAQA_Y
We had @_baretto on our latest episode.
He built a $1M/year business out of a side project
It was great to have him share his story on the pod..
You're gonna LOVE this!!
This guy makes $1M/year with a simple idea.
@_baretto started @TiinyHost as a side gig and then quit his job to go all in.
– No investors
– No fancy degree
– No overnight success
In this episode, he breaks down how he did it.

♥️
I wouldn't call it inspirational, but @napkinmathfm is my favourite. Just two British guys talking about whatever dev/ai/SaaS stuff caught their attention that week.
How do you hack AI search and SEO?
Here’s how @TallyForms did it:
Every free Tally form lives on a Tally URL.
-2M users
-Millions of forms
-That gives Tally massive domain authority
LLMs see Tally everywhere, treat it as trusted, and rank it ahead of it's competitors.
Someone asked @MarieMartens:
“Do Europeans lack ambition? And why are you bootstrapping?”
Her answer was worth listening to.
With @sab8a and @charlierward on Napkin Math:
Something wild about how @TallyForms wins on AI search
Every free form lives at a tally URL
2 million users
Millions of forms
All pointing back to the same domain
LLMs see it mentioned so often that they treat it as an authority.
@MarieMartens shares w @sab8a & @charlierward
In 2020, @MarieMartens had no budget, no team, no VC money.
So she opened Product Hunt, found people already using similar tools, and DM’d them one by one.
That’s how she got her first 1,000 users.
With @sab8a & @charlierward on Napkin Math:
.@MarieMartens is a rare founder.
She’s competing with billion-dollar companies and still scaled @TallyForms to $5M ARR.
– 100% bootstrapped
– Cracked AI search as a growth channel
– Built a brand from a free product
So much to learn from this episode 👇
This is @MarieMartens
She built a $5M ARR company
By giving her product away for free...
– Did it 100% bootstrapped
– Turned AI search into a growth channel
– Built a big brand from a free product
– Competed against VC-backed giants
