a young guy started to host WordPresses for his friends on a Raspberry. Then he teamed with a new friend to create IndieHosters. This project was about hosting free software for people. Little by little, they gained popularity and bigger and bigger organisations trusted them to host there software. There was some up and some down about how to pay the rent with this service. A new team member came along. And eventually, they finally managed to secure a bigger client and some nice smaller one. The rent was mostly paid.
