Dan Price announced a minimum salary of $70,000 to all of his 120 employees back in 2015.

What has happened?

• 50+ babies have been born to company employees
• Employees have lost 50 pounds, defeated cancer
• 70% paid their debts
• 10% bought homes in Seattle

👇👇👇
1. Back in 2015, Price was a successful co-founder and CEO at Gravity Payments, earning a seven-figure sum.

One day, he went for a hike with a good friend, who earned less than $50k in a different company.
2. When she learned that her rent was about to go up by $200 a month, she couldn’t figure out how to pay it.

I was so upset.

Here I am, earning over $1mm a year, realizing that, at Gravity, I work with people who I really value as partners, and they were making less than her.”

I failed, failed and failed again 🤦🏽

My lessons learned

• Start with something you're familiar with
• Engage with potential users
• Mainstream news ≠ success guaranteed

Moved to the UK, now what? 🇬🇧

I wanted to launch a startup and learn English. Google Campus was my go-to place.

Spent days browsing websites.

As I was travelling often, I had an idea. An app. To list private cars, public transport and taxis in the world’s major airports.

Here comes Airportrs: the solution to my problems 🛫

• 1 or 2 months building it
• I cold-emailed journalists

It was a Sunday afternoon, Suddenly I saw a massive traffic.

Excited!

Airportrs is a hit!! We’re on LATimes. A travel journalist used and wrote about it!

I spent 10 months building before selling

Key takeaways

• Tech stack? Users don’t care

• The more time your solution saves, the more users are willing to pay

• Niche down

• Relationships matters

1/ The AHA moment

• Freelance projects might lead to needs/ideas

Similar to how @tylertringas' Storemapper started

2/ I’m an entrepreneur!

Now, I just need:

• Name
• Logo
• Website
• Product name
• Leaflet
• …
