A Discussion on Sam & Shaan's Recent Investments | My First Million #195

Synopsis

Sam and Shaan walk through seven recent personal investments: AbstractOps (back-office ops), Jar (gold savings), Ruumr (?), 1Build (construction marketplace), ConvertKit (creator email), World's Fair Co (?), and Praxis (?). Each gets a 'why it could work / why it could fail' breakdown.

• Open-source SaaS with paid hosted tiers

  The investments discussion only loosely fits, with ConvertKit and AbstractOps pointing toward software businesses that can compound if distribution works.
