Show HN: Weekly trivia app for “async” fun that just crossed 100k ARR
Hi everyone! I left my job as a PM at Lyft (Citi Bike, technically) in March to dive full-time into my passion project (watercoolertrivia.com). As of two weeks ago, our tiny team of three (and I'm the only one full-time) crossed the 100k ARR mark. It's been a complete blast to bootstrap this into existence. One of the co-founders and I hosted pub trivia in college which was the genesis of this idea, 7 (!) years ago.
Happy to answer any questions at all about the business or about our decision to bootstrap instead of raise venture money.
- ysato 6y agoHow did you acquire users?
- dvtrn 6y agoWhere was this when I needed a remote, "multiplayer" trivia for my office's Juneteenth celebration trivia event earlier this summer? That is my only question :P No really, this looks neat and I may be giving it a spin; like yourself and your cofounder, I used to host pub trvia as well and absolutely love being a quizmaster for company events. Congrats on launching, and good luck!
- cowllin 6y agoHah-- we were around earlier this summer! A few groups had actually changed their "personalized" category to Juneteenth so we did end up writing a few questions for that category :) Let us know if any feedback as you give the product a whirl! Can always reach me on HN or the site's "live chat"
