Does Gumroad count? We raised VC but most of that was bought back or written off. I run it by myself now.

Gumroad helps creators sell digital products directly to their audiences. We're expanding to Memberships this year.

I wrote about most of the story here: https://marker.medium.com/reflecting-on-my-failure-to-build-...

And COVID-19 has been a boon, as we help folks earn a living from home. We'll see if it sticks!



Thanks for creating it. I sold the ebook variation of my book through Gumroad and it was a very good experience.

Looking forward to the membership part, might use it for another project of mine.


I remember hearing Gumroad became it's own acquirer (for Visa/MasterCard), is that correct?

If so, surely that wouldn't have been possible without VC funding?


I read your story on the history of Gumroad and it's inspiring, and a great service!
