Alex Suzuki shares his fascinating journey from running a successful agency to becoming a solo developer building Strich.io, a specialized barcode scanning SDK.
Unlike many startup stories of scaling up, Alex chose to scale down - leaving his agency to focus on what he loves most: building products.
In this episode, we dive deep into how Alex competes with venture-backed companies as a solo developer, why he chose to focus exclusively on web-based barcode scanning, and how he manages to serve enterprise clients while maintaining work-life balance.
Alex offers candid insights about navigating enterprise sales, handling procurement departments, and finding success in a technical B2B niche.
Whether you're interested in building developer tools, serving enterprise clients as a solo founder, or finding your path to sustainable indie hacking, this conversation offers valuable lessons from someone who's chosen the road less traveled.
Key topics:
- Transitioning from agency owner to solo developer
- Building and selling enterprise B2B products
- Competing with larger companies in a technical niche
- Managing work-life balance as a solo founder
- Navigating enterprise sales and procurement
- Finding happiness in building products
