This is encapsulated by that simple statement. Do whatever you need to get sales.

I meant “sales” as transactions, not “sales” as in the department or role.

There are always bugs. Turns out almost all customers are ok with bugs.

Good luck with that trying to find PMF and first 100 customers. Later stage, I get it sort of. Seed and A series you will kill your company by being too slow. Waterfall does not work for this.

Sales fixes everything. Very hard to learn for engineers and designers often.

Counter point. Tech stack for my company is fairly accurate. At least accurate enough for any potential applicants to know what they are getting into.

They are giving 10% of the sum to all employees, based on tenure. They didn’t have to do that as the article mentions as they never had employee stock options. So I guess a great bonus for employees? Not sure if this works out the same as h

Not super duper high load but we use Caddy to https encrypted dashboards to 25k users.

Seems like doing $100M+ in ARR (as hinted in the article) is a win. Even more because Chef was acquired for $220M. I think Perforce will pay a bit more for Puppet.

Welcome to the club! Reminds me a lot of the first ~1,5 years hacking on my then bootstrapped monitoring product.

Hey, I kinda agree. Customers are #1 and #2 etc. I believe we have quite some happy customers. But this is a forum managed by a VC so some people are certainly interested in this. I also thought it was interesting in the context of a side p

Thanks, that means a lot!

Totally anecdotal / single datapoint: launched my side project in 2018 on Producthunt. Total crickets. 5 upvotes. We are now a 20+ people team, 400+ B2B customers and $12M raised.

Came here to say something like this. I’m a tech person. You have to teach/force yourself to love listening to and talking to customers’ problems. The programming comes later.

We see a strong adoption of Playwright. It’s the default we recommend to users now. We also support Puppeteer, but its development is lagging. Having said that, I would love to support Cypress if I had infinite time and focus. Side note: Se

This is fine for the indie hacker / build-100-startups-in -3-days folks. It’s about not scaling prematurely. But once your product sticks, you will suddenly need to explain to your customer where your dev, test, acc, staging environmen

My initial launch on ProductHunt was total and utter crickets . Now we have ~500 customers, multiple $100K in ARR and two rounds of venture backing. Without the humble brag, use a platform like PH as any marketing channel: email, blogs, Tw

I bootstrapped for ~2 years. Then raised two VC rounds. What exactly do you want to know? Your questions are a bit too generic to answer.

You can even say Utrecht is split in three - Main city, east of the railway - West...west of the railway - Leidsche Rijn, west of the canal.

Correct. I grew up in the 80ties in Utrecht. The central station area and its mall (Hoog Catharijne) are / were prime examples of utterly failing city government, planning and architecture. It was hideous even in it's hay day. Cri

Checkly CTO and founder here. Thanks for trying Checkly. Just looking at Preflight, I think the audience might be different. Where we — Checkly — focus heavily on "code first / developer first", Preflight seems to target no&#

Yes, it's all very very familiar. The setup, the sitting around the amps, the mumbling. It does away with the "magic" while simultaneously making clear you do need to have a natural talent for "coming up with stuff"

Exactly. I think the OP does not know what it means to "raise money" and go at it. It would turn that person into a full time business owner.

This article is on point. Been through seed and A series in the last ~2 years. The metrics (CAC, LTV) are interesting but do not mean a lot yet. Having customers that live you (make them part of your pitch deck) and seeing great adoption ar

The lines can be blurry. But we did a Seed round with a VC last year, with participation of Angels. So the round was both essentially. You can find the info here. https://blog.checklyhq.com/checkly-raises-2-25m-to-push-acti.

I might be projecting, but this is another company doing well enabled by tech like Clickhouse. Tinybird is another. Timeseries and event metrics are just so snappy, and the API and product (Clickhouse this is) are enabling small teams to do
