How on earth do you afford 1-3 team members on 20k MRR?

A big part is probably not being in Silicon Valley or any other high cost of living location. T&C has governing law in England & Wales so remove company paid healthcare insurance as a big factor.

Easily? Depends on the location of course, but for central/east EU the numbers are legit.

You pay them $70k instead of $150k
