I am happy to share that our little startup (Software services, B2B only), has issued its first invoice (5000 EUR). First step towards leaving 9-5 done! Thank you all and of course @MJ DeMarco for inspiration!

Some facts:
  1. it took ca 6 months from first line of code written to the first invoice
  2. having a product is nothing without good sales skills (which I don't have but my cofounder does)
  3. no one cares about your shiny product only about if it solves their problems or make life easier or their business cheaper
