Great write up. As a fellow bootstrapper, I applaud you on making it to $1M ARR so quickly. I'm not quite there yet, but working towards that goal. I'm kind of curious how Luis found you, and how you attracted him to Missive. Did you bring on a growth hire in the early stage with a company % stake, or was it later once you passed that profitability mark and could afford the hire? I've been looking to attract a similar hire myself but haven't had any success yet.
- plehoux 6y agoI meet Luis at my coworking space in Quebec city. He first started to work on Conference Badge as the sole employee (we were transitioning to Missive ourselves). When the pandemic began, as Conference Badge revenues collapsed, we slowly transitioned him to Missive. Now he works full-time with us on Missive. 100% salary.
