Is my success a function of skill or luck (doesnt matter), and whether my ideas work in Korea?
First one: a Vietnamese laundromat in Saigon redpills you on power level differences
@JordanRejaud I’m a huge fan of your work I have a quick question: Do you attribute your success more to skill or luck?
I'm eager to learn from your experience and was also wondering if you think your strategies would work well in the Korean market
I'd love to hear your thoughts
> Your complete founder story from A to Z?
That's way too long of an answer lmao, be precise with your question; nobody who has done anything is going to write an A to Z book just for you (unless they are selling it to you).
> What was your main goal when getting into SaaS?
Money? Why does anyone get into any business?
> Biggest frustrating challenge scaling Parekeet?/ Second biggest?
Unless you're at a point where you are actively scaling, don't think at all about scaling. Simply remove it from your mind; as far as you are concerned, it doesn't exist.
Pour all your stat points in getting from 0 -> 1 first, then figure out how to get from 1 -> 100.
If you're scaling right now, then ask a precise question about what you're struggling with and I'll try to answer it.
> One piece of advice that could change a bootstrapper’s life? Stop asking questions, most advise is useless, don't read books/ watch podcasts/ YT videos unless its directly pertinent to what you are trying to solve EXACTLY at that time, don't try to "hoard" knowledge that you MIGHT need in the future, it's just masturbation and it keeps you from actually trying to do stuff (and failing, which you will).
Figure out what you need to do RIGHT NOW to move your project forward (which is usually validating your business idea as fast/cheap as you can), ignore everything else, do that first, and then go from there.
Hey @JordanRejaud
As promised — here are the questions!
Feel free to ramble in text or video, whatever’s easiest. Excited to learn from how you built Parekeet to $1.5M+
Your complete founder story from A to Z?
What was your main goal when getting into SaaS?
Biggest frustrating challenge scaling Parekeet?
Second biggest?

Thank you again legend 🙌
QuickBooks locks you out of your own expense data. No API for categorization, no automation, no AI integration.
Switched to @ZohoBooks + Claude Code. Now I manage expenses through natural language:
"show uncategorized expenses"
"categorize Amazon as office supplies"
"list travel expenses this month"
@florianwueest Its true, on the whole nobody cares about your accomplishment or failures. If you can't derive meaning of your own life on your own, you're ngmi
My @starter_story video is live, it's my first podcast :)
I saved $40k a year by dumping all my wagies and replacing everything that I could with AI.
Reply with your questions below, and I'll answer the more interesting ones.
