“We've got a freemium solution. Altogether, I think it's more than 3,000, but 350 of them are paying. That's teams, 350 teams.”
“Fortunately, it's word-of-mouth because product market fit is 84% and NPS score stands in around 80 ish. We're kind of a happy product for happy people, so they talk about it.”
“It's really hard to maintain a healthy people culture in a remote company. Karma is one of those tools that helps companies to appreciate each other more, to record this praise, to convert that praise into rewards, and so on. We automate one on ones. We do all sorts of things to keep this remote people culture healthy.”
Bio
Hey, I’m Stas Kulesh. I grew up in Siberia, studied Computer Science and Nuclear Physics, played in a band, got excited by the indie-games making and left the uni to become a digital designer. Since then, for years I’ve been working remotely, traveling and blogging. Ended up settling in New Zealand and starting Karma.
