Lean Startup Stack vs Paper People Spelling Bee

Free and cheap resources for bootstrapping startup founders.

This is a simple website, adapted from an article I published 4 months ago, expanding on this concept of a Lean Startup Stack for bootstrapping founders to use for getting shit done.

There are so many software options in every category nowadays that it can be hard to find the right ones. For bootstrapping founders, it is the struggle of finding inexpensive or free ones.

About four months ago I wrote an article called The Lean Startup Stack: Free Software Products for Bootstrapping Startups. Since then, I've received lots of great feedback and support surrounding the article, so I figured I would put a little more time into refining it.

This simple website, if you could even call it a website, contains my preferred software products and resources for running a startup in its early stages.

The Lean Startup Stack includes legal, operations, tech, design, marketing, and financial software products and resources. The best part, other than most of the Stack being free, is that you don’t have to sacrifice quality, security, or even brand name when using the Lean Startup Stack. Many of the products listed are made, and used, by multi-billion dollar companies.

I hope you enjoy it and please feel free to reach out to me with suggestions for improvements.
