Frequently Asked Questions

Who made this? What's going on?

I'm Jon Yongfook. For the last year I've been building a bunch of random things, now I'm launching a company based on the lessons learned.

What's ARR?

It means Annual Run Rate, or the amount of money my products make per year.

How will you get to $100k ARR?

I'm planning to launch 2 or 3 niche SaaS tools over the next few months. First one launches in October.

Why $100k? Why not a million bucks?

A $100k ARR target has a good balance of being achievable, and also legitimising what I'm doing as a business with some potential.

What's your timeline?

If I can hit this target in the next 18 months, I'll be very happy.
