In an industry dominated by massive quarries and corporate giants, PA Stone is quietly building a $400K revenue stream from Pennsylvania stone and bulk salt—without any outside funding or venture backing. With just three employees, they're leveraging a modern tech stack to compete in the Mid-Atlantic.

"This isn't a tech company pretending to be in mining—this is a mining company that built itself like a tech startup."

The technology stack is where things get interesting. They're using React and DaisyUI with a Progressive Web App (PWA) approach—technologies typically reserved for SaaS startups. This isn't your typical mining company website. It's a deliberate choice to compete on user experience, not just price. The lack of tracked traffic suggests they're either early-stage, heavily reliant on offline relationships, or using the site primarily as a digital brochure for warm leads.

• Zero VC funding—pure bootstrap operation
• Modern React/DaisyUI stack in a traditional industry
• Regional focus over national scale ambitions
• Founder-led sales with personal email domains
