Hey Jason,

Thanks for sharing your 2 projects! To be honest, I'm surprised that a few simple projects like that could support someone! I'm completely new to this, and was wondering if you could break down some numbers for me? Like: how many users, where they come from, what you think is the total market, how much of that you currently capture, and any growth hacking or marketing you did?

Thanks a lot!


Would like to offer an argument that the Ivy League schools that hire hedge funds also are very good at subsidizing tuition. When I went to Princeton, only 40% of students paid the full "45k" tuition, and those were families that were so well off that they don't mind the 45k at all. I would say the average tuition paid at Princeton is closer to 20k. So there does seem to be such a correlation: rich schools -> using HFs -> make a bunch of money -> fund students from poorer backgrounds to attend the school.


Princeton's colors are black and orange.
