Can a 2-Person Startup Studio Really Launch 5 Startups Every 2 Months? 🚀

At CM64, we’re not your typical startup studio. With just two people, we’re turning bold ideas into reality and creating 5 startups every two months across different industries. It’s a high-energy, fast-paced environment that’s miles away from the traditional corporate setup.
💡 We’re constantly testing new methods, learning from our failures, and fine-tuning our processes. But we want to know: Would you be interested in learning about our day-to-day hacks, growth strategies, and the tools we use to manage multiple projects at lightning speed?
We’re thinking about sharing free trainings, and creating content to help founders and aspiring entrepreneurs understand what it really takes to build and scale startups from scratch. Topics could include:
🔍 How startups are born (and sometimes fail)
📈 Growth strategies that actually work
🗂️ Project planning and follow-up tricks for lean teams
💻 The tools that keep our studio running smoothly
What would you like to learn from a 2-person team working at this pace? What are the biggest challenges you face in your own projects? Drop your thoughts in the comments—we’d love to hear from you!

Launching soon!
That's a great approach. I tend to treat SaaS like I used to treat dropshipping (before I quit) - the more products you test, the more likely you are to find a winner which you can scale and make money with.
It's similar to how VCs invest in 1000 startups, knowing only one of them needs to succeed to cover all the losses and generate good profit.
It's also like how art collectors invest in many different paintings, only to discover that one they purchased is a Salvador Dali.
Not getting obsessed over one idea is really powerful.
But I must ask: do you keep running the businesses you launch? How do you validate ideas?

@simonas_kauzonas Hi Simonas! thanks and great examples! we keep a long list of concepts we’re itching to bring to life, and we connect with people who share the vision. We make sure to team up with people who are already experts or have a strong presence in the community or industry where the solution would be valuable.
Not gonna lie, we do get pretty obsessed with the ideas, but we make sure the other founders keep driving the growth once we have the first customers.
When it comes to validating ideas, it really depends on the industry and problem. If there’s genuine interest, we get a great site and solid pitch deck up (that is presented to prospects) to start testing and refining the MVP. But for us, it's not just about chasing the money—we're after the impact and value that the solution brings. This approach makes a big difference because some ideas need time and a few iterations to nail down the right pitch and understand how people make decisions.
Let’s connect and chat more about this and I'm interested in Emojibly. Would be great to set up a quick call!
Depends if you have a proven system and playbooks to quickly validate ideas, build MVPs, and iterate. Having a strong network to tap for early users and feedback is key too. 5 every 2 months is ambitious but doable if you're super efficient and have complementary skillsets. Curious what spaces you're targeting?
@atlasreedkingsley Hi Atlas! Great points! We definitely rely on having our own frameworks to move fast. On the development side, we’ve built a no-code framework that lets us quickly create apps, sites, or whatever the project needs. On the business side, we follow our own playbooks for validation, MVP building, and iteration, which helps us stay efficient and keep things on track.
Regarding 'spaces,' (English isn’t my native language) if you're asking about industries, we tend to align with the philosophy of creating technology that helps individuals become more financially independent, makes startups more efficient, and equips SMEs with the tools they need to thrive.
Would love to connect and chat more about this, feel free to reach out and thanks for your comment!
