0-1 is a huge thing! Very humble presentation, great job. One of the very, very, very few medium posts that are worthwhile to read.
I find this very impressive with only 7 people because probably 5 of them are engineers and/or actually support the product. That leaves only 2 people for the marketing aspects, which are difficult.
It would be more enlightening if you would post cash flow data.
> 4) Freemium can put you on the wrong track.
Sure, but this is very highly product-specific. Freemium can also win you mind share and technical lock-in.
- evermike 8y ago1) Actually right now we don't have anyone dedicated to marketing :) Our team structure is the following: CTO and COO (two other co-founders), me (design, product and marketing), 1 customer success, 2 front-end devs, 1 back-end dev. We'll hire a few more people soon, but this is how our team looks today. 2) I agree, many successful companies grew via freemium modal. So our case can't be applied to everyone.
- MuffinFlavored 8y ago> me (design, product and marketing) Who drafted the layout for your landing page + integrations pages + wrote the content? They are very, very good and look like the work of multiple people, not just one person.
- evermike 8y agoI did all of this (except HTML/CSS coding). But it wasn't accomplished in one day. There were several rounds of improvements.
