Show HN: GrowSurf – Supercharge growth for your startup
- dmelvin 7y agoHi, Derek here. I'm one of the makers. We built GrowSurf because we waited since 2015 for someone to build a referral marketing platform designed for startups. Affordable, scalable, and modern. You might be wondering what makes us different from all of the <viral tool> or <referral platform>s out there (there are 55+ when we last checked). In a nutshell, GrowSurf was the referral software that we always envisioned using for ourselves. In our customers' words, with GrowSurf you can launch a referral program in a day and our UX/UI is very welcoming. Turns out there are a lot of other companies who felt the same way. Our customers include SurveyMonkey, Indeed, Blockstack and a lot of top startups looking to grow through referrals. - Integrate in hours, not weeks - 100% customizable - Full dev toolkit (REST API, JS, Webhooks, Zapier) - Freemium model (no cc required) with a starting 14 day trial of paid plan. Because this is HN, I'd be happy to discuss the tech-side of things. We're built on AngularJS/Nodejs. We just implemented Redis, which was a gargantuan undertaking. Because we're boostrapped, we're still fighting scale issues, like migrating out of our existing cloud providers (e.g, Firebase) to continue growing without paying a ridiculous bill. Facing many of the challenges a normal small team faces but we love it.
