Sahil Lavingia

Sahil Lavingia is a technology entrepreneur and the founder of Gumroad, a platform that helps creators sell digital products directly to their audiences. He originally set out to build a massive, venture-scale company but later publicly reflected on what it meant when that outcome didn’t happen. That reflection helped shape a different philosophy of entrepreneurship—one centered on sustainable profitability, independence, and building companies that serve a good life rather than replace it.
