Seriously can any company in this world even sustain a 20% monthly growth rate? That seems like an impossible target to achieve and set you up for failure right from the beginning.

I have come across Gumroad a number of times as a customer and unfortunately some of the products sold through there were often either low quality or grossly overpriced. After numerous occasions, eventually any products that use Gumroad would immediately appear as a turn off for me. This was just my personal experience.

Spending $2 to make $1 with VC money is a pretty easy way to boost growth and see numbers like those.
