On: A Computer Repair Shop as a Startup (with numbers)

[swies]

PC shops like this one are the market for our premium product and it is extremely interesting to see these numbers. It wasn't obvious to me before (I'm sort of slow with these things) but if you're selling a B2B product, checking out a customer's books is really enlightening.

What's your premium product?

My co-founder and I make Ninite (YC W08) http://ninite.com

It automatically installs apps for windows fast. It's free for home use, but we charge businesses. Many of our subscribers are PC shops like yours.

It's fascinating to see the next step up the value chain in such detail. Thanks for writing that post.

Awesome product; I'll look into it.

I think it would be great for custom PCs and of course for newly formatted PCs.
