Est. 2020

Andrew Kamphey built Better Sheets in one day — a Carrd page and a stack of Loom videos — just to prove he could ship something fast.

I launched Better Sheets in one day because another project was taking a lot longer than expected.Andrew Kamphey, founder of Better Sheets

The ugly part. Annoyed by an article claiming Google Sheets was useless, Andrew Kamphey decided to ship a product in a single day. It was as scrappy as it gets: a Carrd one-pager over a screenshot of a spreadsheet, screen-recordings made in Loom and uploaded straight to Gumroad, sold as a $30 lifetime deal. No app, no course platform, no custom anything.

What he shipped anyway. The whole MVP was that landing page and the line 'Buy Now: $30 Lifetime Access.' It worked well enough to keep going — he added more videos as people asked for them, and went full-time on it.

Now. Better Sheets grew past $100,000 in revenue in about two years, run with a single contractor — built on a Carrd page and a folder of Loom clips.
