The €54 Portfolio Builder That Refused to Get Big
Drawfolio has spent more than a decade selling illustrators a website they can build in five minutes and then forget about. No venture capital, no coding, no growth theater - just a small Valencia team and one very specific customer.
SmugMug
SmugMug is a paid photo and video hosting platform that helps photographers showcase, share, protect, and sell their work. Founded in 2002 by father-and-son team Chris and Don MacAskill and bootstrapped without venture capital, it built a subscription business around customizable portfolio sites, password-protected client galleries, unlimited storage, and built-in print and digital sales. In 2018 SmugMug acquired Flickr, adding tens of millions of community photographers, and in 2022 the two brands launched the nonprofit Flickr Foundation to keep historically significant photos accessible for the next 100 years.
