Independent publishing
Based on market validation, competitive moat, team risk, and execution feasibility at founding stage.
70/100. Ghost is a nonprofit but runs like a SaaS. Profitable, independent, and growing. The open-source model + managed hosting creates sustainable revenue. But it's a conscious choice to stay small.
Non-profit structure aligned incentives with publishers (no VC pressure to extract rent). Clean design + fast performance. SEO out-of-the-box better than WordPress defaults.
CONDITIONAL GO as a lifestyle business. NO-GO as a VC-backed company. Ghost proves you can build a sustainable $10M+ ARR product without growth-at-all-costs. But you can't return a venture fund from this.
