Every dollar. Every cost. No hiding. This is what it actually takes to build something from scratch.
Most people talking about buying businesses won't show you what they're spending. I think that's backwards. If I'm going to document this journey for real, you should see the real costs — not just the highlights reel.
This page tracks every dollar I spend building G2G. AI tools, domains, hosting, software, deal costs — all of it. Updated as the journey progresses.
