SpeedCurve is proving to be very profitable for a side project. Paid back initial $3k investment in server costs and now growing at 32% month on month. Can't live on it yet, but it will cover a couple of conferences and a two week holiday in New York this year. Also just won $10k in a startup competition, does that count as profit? ;)

For bootstrapped SaaS projects it's worth remembering how long it can take to grow the flywheel and see growth. It took Rob from HitTail a year after launch to connect with the right audience and Freckle took 5 years to get to $57k/month. It's a multiyear investment to grow something substantial.

SpeedCurve has been in development for a year and available commercially for only 5 months. Haven't even started doing any marketing yet with all current growth via word of mouth.
