“So I think we have three big acquisition channels. The first one and the most important one is, like, actually paid ads. We use our own tool to promote our tool. So we do some paid ads on Meta to, like, basically show what the tool can do, and we let's just prove it works by using it.”
“Yeah. For the first month, it was crazy. I think first week, it was, like, 5 k of monthly recurring revenue after, like, literally one week. So it's but something crazy like that. We had some, like, crazy moments when we had to shut down the product because we had, like, a barrel peak and stuff like that. But, yeah, very early, we understood that we had something.”
“So, yeah, this is kind of something we are gonna keep for ourselves right now. But what I can tell you is, like, arcads is very profitable. We are, like, bootstrapped. We are, like, not, like, relying on VC money to to to to fund the the paid ads and the growth.”
