What they did
While running a digital-nomad tax startup (later shut down), Bo kept seeing that Americans were the biggest, most underserved group. His co-founder met California surfers who had lived abroad for years and were still paying California state taxes. They built for exactly that group, choosing a market with real demand, high pain and few capable founders competing.
