“We passed six figures last year. And after I think working about on this about year and a half, a little bit, maybe a little bit over that we started paying ourselves.”

“So let's go through YC interviewed for YC in 2018 rejected interviewed for tiny seed 2019 rejected applied interviewed For Indie.VC, Ernest Capital, Techstars, Chicago, and Boulder rejected. But in 2019 as well, you applied and interviewed for launch, and you …”

“We interviewed for launch and we got the offer. It was something that we had to talk about because if we went to launch and if you know, Jason Calacanis, he's all about building unicorns and Going through the venture route. And as we learned a little bit more …”

“So half of it was just making things up as we went, but it was a very good opportunity because we did get a lot of signups and we got our first, as mentioned, 1000 dollars in MRR.”

“I think you will get benefit from going, either one of you, and probably don't attend the sessions, but just try to line up meetings, talk to existing customers, try to get intros, like, and I talked a little bit about, like, luck surface area, this concept of…”

“So we ended up going with the base camp motto of ShapeUp with a six-week sprint, and that's worked out really well for us so far in terms of getting into a rhythm of building out feature requests and having the engineers also feel that it's a short enough peri…”

“Our revenue has been flat year to date, and I think the last time we chatted we were On the progress towards about half a million in ARR, and I think we were around 450 K ARR at the time, but over the past six months, we've had a lot of churn. It's the first t…”

“Tony Chan of cloud forecast applied four times, I think before three or four times before getting in and because we had, we can see that journey that he took and like the progress.”
