Skiff

“It was between 10 and 15% solution.”

“Like we had a YouTube video released about Skiff in China on Friday that probably bumped our growth up 30% in three days.”

“Yeah, roughly that. I mean, I kind of set up a lot of the structure in those interim few months. And so then we kind of, we want it to work together as equals.”

“Like, we specifically don't want to put paywalls on things that will make you kind of have a better experience on day one on Skit. So, for example, our templates feature, which lets you kind of share and use anti-encrypted templates searching through anti-encr…”

“We spend almost no money in marketing.”

“Product like growth, I think is very difficult and also very time consuming as in like, you will not see thousands of users immediately signing up. Like the whole point of like compounding growth is, you know, it'll look flat and then you look back and it look…”

“So well, it's unclear how sustainable those events are, but you know, we're kind of aiming to do 30% month over month growth for the next year or so.”

“Well, I think it is really important to have a co-founder who's not, you know, like not a five 95 split or, you know, a really unequal split just because there are so many rough and grinds, you know, grinding moments in that first few years that I think just h…”

“So one of the things we can monetize pretty easily is storage space. People are probably paying for storage space in their life already, whether it's on Google or it's on Dropbox or something else. And so that's something that's pretty common. Also it's, you k…”

“I think definitely not, and there's no legal precedent that we would do that.”

“Actually in a few weeks, we're kind of broadening that vision significantly and bringing in kind of more aspects of the typical Google WorkSuite, and so you'll see that in the next few weeks.”

“So for the individual plan, people are paying, I believe it's 10 dollars a month, or maybe there's an annual plan discount. And enterprise is anywhere from depending on the options you choose, you know, about double that.”

“Then in the series A, we raised 10 and a half.”

“And obviously stuff like mobile apps, desktop apps leads to much higher retention in products like ours.”

“We have some great angel investor CEOs like Alexander, the CEO of scale. And you know, I think he's been a great role model to also David, the CEO of Retool.”

“So we're about 15, 15 to 20 all over the world. Bunch in the Bay Area, some in New York, some in France, some in Israel, some in Hungary and Egypt and, you know, the rest of the world.”

“We don't have access to everything you write and you share, and you're the only person who owns your data.”

“We have some paying customers, a bunch of individuals, and then we're kind of, we have some kind of, I'd say small to medium sized businesses up to a hundred people paying for skip.”

“So we raised, I think, two and a half million initially, and then we ended up adding about one and a half a million from angel investors right after that. So it ended up being about four.”

“But the kind of most important thing is like, we just cannot, we'll never generate significant revenue if we don't Reach millions of users.”

“I think we want to have at least 10 times or more as many users.”

“So like, there's no client side tracking, anything like that.”

“It's been, I think, over 30% for the last few months.”

“Also, by the way, of the kind of fourteen million we raised, like more than two thirds is still unspent.”
