Fake Mayo Startup Stories
Real startup stories. No hype - just the moves that work.
Fake Mayo is a dedicated newsletter and blog that goes behind the scenes of the startup world to reveal what it actually takes to build a business. Instead of focusing on unicorn valuations, Fake Mayo shares weekly, in-depth interviews with "indie hackers" and solo founders.
These stories detail the exact strategies used to acquire the first 100 customers, overcome technical hurdles, and achieve real growth.
It is an essential resource for anyone seeking honest, actionable insights from founders who are building in public.
