The Minimalist Entrepreneur

Sahil Lavingia is the Founder and CEO of Gumroad, an angel investor, a painter, and a writer.

"Sahil Lavingia's book changed the way I think about my life and my business, and opened my mind to possibilities for a different--and better--model for successful entrepreneurship. A brilliant, fascinating read."
--John Green, cofounder of Complexly and author of The Fault in Our Stars and The Anthropocene Reviewed

"Sahil knows not. He knows what not to do, what not to follow, how not to waste, and how not to get caught up in the hype. What's left is the yes - the stuff that really works, the things that actually matter. It's all in this book, and much of it only in this book. Pay attention."
--Jason Fried, cofounder of Basecamp and coauthor of Rework
 
"A must-read for any potential founder. Brilliant insights into starting something simply and sensibly. Best guide to the new world of starting from anywhere."

"Few people can simplify a complex topic like Sahil. This book is as fun to read as it is informative.
