From Side Project to Startup What happens when a developer stops building for a boss and starts building for themselves? CoderVentures follows the path from repo to revenue.

Any business started by the person who writes its code — a paid app, a developer tool, a SaaS, or a productized service built and shipped by its own maker.

No. Most developer-founded products begin as nights-and-weekends projects and only become full-time once revenue supports it.

You need a real problem, a working product, and users willing to pay. The business skills — pricing, support, marketing — are learnable the same way you learned to code.
