Hey Product Hunters – thanks for checking out v2.0 of my website MakeHub that I launched here around 2 years ago. 🤔 The Problem I love when people are working on their own micro-startups to express their creativity and pay their bills. And I think it’s super important to make some money so that you’d have more time to work on projects that are interesting to you and eventually quit that job if that's what you want. Product Hunt is great for discovering all kinds of new products in tech. Indie Hackers is a nice community for solo founders. But I haven’t found a place on the web where I could just find some new profitable indie startups with their revenue. 🛠 My Solution So MakeHub let’s you find profitable micro-startups built by solo founders without funding. You’ll find new startups on the front page every day, but you can also browse the entire startup database using almost 20 filters. You can also subscribe to my weekly newsletter that sends you last week’s products. 📹 The video This time I also made a quick launch video where 🍄 Terence McKenna talkes in the background how it’s important to produce and send stuff up the wire instead of just consuming the ideas coming down through the toxic distribution system. It’s very simple, I just used iMovie to put together some free videos from Pexels. Watch it here and let me know what you think 👉 https://youtu.be/oAIfJ-c0qYc

@zwacky Thanks, Simon! And I really do think it's important to create more and consume less. Maybe SaaS products are not really about this, but newsletters and blogs are, and people are also making money their writings (like Substack). So instead of reading mass media articles, you read what other people write.

PS. Do you plan to cleanse it over time? Some seem bigger than solo. I was particularly intrigued by one or two there at the top end revenue-wise. I figured they were at most a three-person co-founder team, but according to one the founders, they are a seven-person team. Appreciate the definition of "solo" is hard when the lines are blurred on what an employee is. And I still like the list, but it seems more bootstrapped focused than "solo" + bootstrapped.

@lynnastyie I see what you mean, Keith! I think my long-term focus should be probably on solo projects (a couple of co-founders are okay too), because that was the original idea and I want people to see it's possible to build something profitable alone. You make a website, a small SaaS or newsletter and you pay your bills with it. For example Canny is listed now and while they did start out as two co-founders, they're now grown to 9 people (https://canny.io/about).
