“The first launch was around a year ago, maybe a year and a half. The thing is that that time we got top three product of the day, but the product was really bad, it was just testing the idea. And at that time, we got a lot of feedback that the idea is great, but product sucks, so please do something about it.”
“And then just next six months was spent just iterating on the feedback we got from customers until we finalized the platform. Like in some form that we have now, now it's like, of course, more advanced, but at least at that time, we was able to launch again. And at that time, we got, like, number one product of the day at Product Hunt. We also got a lot of positive feedback, first paying customers, first investors.”
“Yeah. I would say somewhere between thousand to $5,000 per year.”
