Slow Bets by Mario Schulzke – What’s Left Over Is What Matters

Revenue is a treadmill. Profit is a flywheel.

IdeaMensch was never a high-revenue business. Six figures, at best. Never life-changing money. But the margins are high because the costs were almost zero. No employees. No office. Hosting and a domain name. No VC would ever be interested in it.

That’s why it worked as a slow bet. Not because it made a lot of money. Because almost everything it made was profit.
