Hi all - I appreciate your concern over my methodology. Fact remains that I turned a $156 into a startup which has generated over 30k since launch about a month ago - while you might not understand the niche it serves our customers are schools for which there are no shortage of. All of the UI has been reskinned since the fiverr mockups and if you see the finished product it needs little resembelence. We also have two full time devs working on the software to continue to value add to the solution.

Yes I've launched over 100 products in 4 years many of which are international award winning - you can search Jarrod Robinson on the app stores to see that they are NOT throwaway products and represent hundreds of thousands of investment from me. I'm just blessed to be able to do what I love .

The $156 figure is disingenuous though. Without the $10k of development costs, you didn't have a startup—you had an idea.

Really, it's you're $10,156 startup—still something to be proud of though. I see many people spending way more without any signs of traction.

But he collected the money to pay for dev cost from the initial 156$ investment. It's not disingenuous at all.

But he only put $156 in. Everything from there was self funded.

Congratulation with the launch and thanks for sharing the details. I think it was very impressive and show that you are very skilled at starting things.

I don't know how you manage to keep 100's of products alive at once, but as an end-consumer I would worry about the long-term viability when the owner of the product I'm investing in and planning to rely on is run by a guy who say he is more interested in starting companies than running them - which is exactly what your about-page sounds like.
