Everyone talks about Next Big Thing. I’m thinking: what’s the next small thing? I don’t want to borrow money, hire hundreds of people, and scale up. $5M ARR with team of three is just fine.

Annual compliance requirements.

Recurring revenue baked in by law. Fragmented service by low tech, third-party certifiers. Requirements are everywhere (lucrative example is elevator inspections).

I just paid $55 for someone to come certify my fire extinguisher that was already sold as certified.

Building a little space by the ocean. More information at /thenextwave coming soon.

Compliance is definitely a good market for recurring revenue and small teams @m3ndy

I love solving problems that are mandatory, recurring and expensive 🫰

And I like people who solve such problems 🫰
