Marc Lou replied to the classic "why don't you focus on one startup?" with a screenshot of his inbox: a cascade of Stripe payout notifications landing the same morning — $104,577 for Marclo, $45,413 for TrustM, $30,066 for DataFa, $1,655 for ShipFast, and more. The receipts make his case: running many small indie products in parallel can be a serious revenue portfolio.
