Interviewed by Derek Andersen, founder of Startup Grind.
I've been on a Jason binge. I LOVE hearing this guy.
Us, too! Also big fans of DHH, his cofounder.
I'm a big fan of Jason Fried's business philosophy. He actually has a lot of contrarian viewpoints which don't get voiced a lot. He kind of represents the bootstrap camp of tech businesses, which is often under voiced. These guys operate from a perspective of values and don't mind the competition. It seems they are doing something right. I definitely recommend his books Rework and Remote for anyone interested in web business.
Don't be jealous of the market, just enjoy it.
Good luck with that business philosophy.
+1 to that thinking, well said.
I know Jason’s dad. Smart guy from Deerfield. Watch video. Definitely worth your time and thought. Hope you are successful as Jason.

cool, smart guy!
Kinda funny that lots of people seemed to actually believe Basecamp was valued at $100bi hahahaha
Not 100b but its definitely valued somewhere in the b range. They have cash to back that up as well, some many can't say.
John G The biggest company ever Apple is 500bi. Netflix is 40 billion I think. We know basecamp is nowhere near neither of them. Everybody knows of netflix, who knows of basecamp? But of course the fact that basecamp generates large revenue makes it valuable.
Juan I never said 500b or even 40b, but definitely probably 2-4b. Many people assume they generate like 100M a year, they can easily value themselves x8 or x10, their profit is crazy high. You would find buyers more easily with cash behind you like that and proven 10+ year revenue growth. If someone would buy it I don't know, but they could make a *case* for x15 or x20 profits for the sale price. They grow every year, will continue to do so and have proven profits that are consistent.
How much did the domain costed ?
Good question, think they're keeping it under wraps.
