Writing and building in public, my journey to creative, developer entrepreneurial freedom…

Um, I know what you are thinking.

Is Techpreneur even a word?

Apparently, it is a word. Although I didn’t know that (or what it meant) when I first had the idea for this newsletter.

(There I go, trying to be all original and stuff. 😁)

This is how I think of and define a Techpreneur, in my context.

A Techpreneur is someone (like me) who uses programming and code, no-code solutions, and existing technologies in order to gain:

  • Financial freedom
  • Location-independent work
  • Creative expressiveness

Here is a solid definition I found online in the article, Technopreneurship: New Breed of Entrepreneurship:

“techpreneurs are entrepreneurs who start and manage their own technology business”
