Money, written by someone still learning it in public. Studio revenue, the THON pledge, and what a student business actually costs to run.
I run a small studio, MakeAndUpdate, while studying Supply Chain Management at Smeal. This desk is where the numbers go.
What lands here
- Running a student business. What hosting, domains, tooling and taxes really cost, with receipts.
- The THON pledge. Ten percent of all MakeAndUpdate project revenue goes to THON for the rest of 2026. Revenue, not profit. Updates on where that stands are posted here first.
- What I am learning. Pricing, invoicing, cash flow. Mistakes included.
What it is not
Not investment advice. I am not a licensed anything. If a story reads like a recommendation, treat it as a diary entry instead.
