Finding a Product Idea for Your Micro-ISV
I’ve always like the idea of remora
A remora is a fish that attaches itself to the side of a larger creature like a whale or a shark. The remora doesn’t actually do any work to find food. It relies on the bigger fish to handle the real marketing challenges and cleans up the opportunities left over. The remora reminds us that micro-ISVs can do very well with an add-on product.
I’ve always tried to stay technical. The dream is still playing local (over looking the beach) and selling global.
