“Even though we're prelaunch, right, we've had some revenue already. We've had four paying customers.”
“So, yeah. So the way it started is I started building this June last year. We launched around December time for a silent launch where I wanted sort of testers, I wanted some early feedback, right? The last thing you want to do is build in silence. This is where I reached out to certain people in Reddit and other social media platforms. I feel like my main source of feedback was from mainly Reddit and Quora. That's where I got the first four paying customers. Apart from that, we've had a 100 free users”
“No, we've had three churn, one's still paying.”
Bio
I'm a 20 year old degree apprentice, meaning I work full time as a software engineer and part-time completing university that is paid for. In my spare time I'm working on Ecom Pilot, a SaaS product research tool for dropshippers. We are currently pre-launch, and have been lucky enough to find some partners who are working on a complementary tool now raising a series A. I'm also working on Afiliatree, which is more of a bootstrapped effort at a social enterprise looking to do some good.
