Job Board Portfolio Strategy

Shaan and Sam discuss how Andrew Wilkinson's Tiny Capital built a portfolio of job boards, with WeWorkRemotely.com as a notable example. The business model involves acquiring and operating multiple specialized job boards under a single platform.

Key Points:

  • WeWorkRemotely.com Performance:

    • Revenue fluctuated between $3-6M annually
    • Grew from $3M to $6M during 2020-2021
    • Later settled back to $3-4M
    • Operates with minimal staff (approximately 3 people on LinkedIn)
  • Portfolio Approach:

    • Acquire multiple specialized job boards
    • Group them under a "platform" strategy
    • Focus on efficient operations with minimal overhead
    • Generate steady revenue streams from established properties
  • Business Model Benefits:

    • Low operational complexity
    • High margins due to minimal staff
    • Established revenue streams
    • Part of larger portfolio strategy for diversification

This represents one segment of Tiny's larger portfolio approach to digital asset acquisition and management.
