This is the first official blog post on Orofirm.com by Orofirm. I don’t expect anyone to read it. The reason I created this website was to satisfy Apple’s requirements because they rejected my enrollment for an Apple Developer Account for my business, Orofirm Kft, citing the lack of a “proper website.”
I hadn’t originally planned to create a website for Orofirm—at least not within the next 1 or 2 years. But here we are.
I will use Orofirm.com to write about what Orofirm is doing because some of the things we’re working on are quite interesting, yet there isn’t a proper forum to share my learnings.
What is Orofirm?
As you might have guessed, Orofirm is my business. Its official legal name is Orofirm Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság, which is essentially the Hungarian equivalent of an LLC/GmbH. Orofirm’s primary focus is software development and related services. As of today, it’s a single-person business, and that single person is me: Peter.
I offer software product management and software development services, primarily for SMBs, because that’s the environment I enjoy working in the most. At the moment, I’m not looking for new partners.
What do I want to achieve with Orofirm?
My ultimate goal with Orofirm is to create a long-lasting, “boring” business. I want it to be something valuable that my child(ren) can inherit after I’m gone. They can decide to continue running the business or sell it and pursue something they value more.
How do I plan to achieve that?
Currently, Orofirm’s primary source of income is from software development-related services. I work for other companies and invoice them. This setup works well for now—I’m fortunate to collaborate with companies I genuinely enjoy working with.
However, as a builder at heart, my long-term goal is to create my own product that can sustain the business and support my family.
As I mentioned, I want to build a “boring” business. I don’t want to take huge risks, raise venture capital, or chase the next unicorn startup. Instead, I want predictable income and peace of mind. I’ll continue working for my partners to the best of my ability and use my free time to develop my own products. Fortunately, I love building software, and programming is one of my favorite hobbies.
Where do I stand today?
I have one great partner I work with, and most of my time is invested in this collaboration.
I have also launched two products on the Google Play Store:
- One is not yet monetized.
- The other generates $10 in monthly recurring revenue (MRR). My goal for 2024 was to make $1 with it, which I successfully achieved.
I’m keeping costs low, which allows me to focus on gradual progress.
Final thoughts
I’m very happy with how far I’ve come in less than a year, but it’s clear that I still have a long way to go to achieve my ultimate goals. I’m optimistic about making significant progress in 2025.
