How to build a profitable, indie software business while living your dream lifestyle. No stress or venture capital required.

Rocket Science Book by Kyle Gawley

About The Book

Are you a developer who's tired of building other peoples products? Would you like to build your own fun and profitable software products, without the stress of raising venture capital and building a huge tech company?

This book challenges the conventional narrative that software businesses can only be successful if they raise millions in venture funding and aim for a multi-billion dollar exit.

More and more developers in 2022 are turning to indie hacking, building their own profitable businesses without raising money and often working solo or as part of a micro-team.

I first wrote this book in 2017 when I began my transition from CEO of a venture capital-funded startup with $5m in sales to an independent solopreneur after a brutal experience with stress put me in hospital.

Having now achieved happiness and financial freedom as a solopreneur, it's the perfect time to revise the book with new experiences and learnings.
