Failing at a Startup Doesn’t Mean Entrepreneurship Is Broken

I’m sorry, Dago, but I can’t. You literally launched a platform to launch SaaS.

You made money with it. In a way, you pushed the indie hacking lifestyle with this project. Now you’re making a few bucks with your 9–5 and shitting on indie hacking.

Entrepreneurship isn’t a lottery. It’s a long-term game built for disciplined and driven people. If you gave up and you’re happy, good for you. But to me, you just gave up too early, and now you’re spreading your loser mindset around X.

I’ve been building stuff since 2016. It was hard, and sometimes it still is. But at some point, you understand the game. You accumulate skills and experience.

Then you win. Only people who give up lose. and you’re one of them. Your analogy doesn’t make sense at all. Lottery is luck. Entrepreneurship is hard and smart work over a long period of time.
