Building a company brick-by-brick

&quot;I have found very little written about the journey to $10k and the struggles it brings&quot;.<p>I agree.<p>First mention of customers: &quot;We were seeing some interest and already had some nice early sign-ups (approximately 250 sites)&quot;.<p>What about the story of those first 250 customers then? Because I have found very little written about the journey to the first 250 customers and the struggles it brings.

Thanks for sharing your journey! I really like your product and might try it for clients (saas companies) :-)<p>I was curious how come your product has been developed for so long and then I read your previous articles and how you pivoted from chatroulette-like conversations to better for online chat conversations for companies.<p>Good luck!

Great read, I think a lot of startup blogs skip the ...start bit and jump to &quot;here&#x27;s how we scaled!&quot;<p>Glad to see an Irish company talking about this stuff too (though I wasn&#x27;t sure if ye were Irish until I read that Darragh was your first hire :P). Good luck to ye!

Thanks for sharing and highlighting the runway point. Follow-on funding shouldn&#x27;t be an after thought once sh*t hits the fan. It should be baked into forecasts&#x2F;plans from the get-go, if it&#x27;s something that will be needed either for growth, or as a margin of safety.

Can&#x27;t seem to be able to subscribe to the blog. At least, Bazqux gives<p><pre><code> ProtocolError &quot;error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure&quot;</code></pre>

Good read. Thanks for writing this. Provided just the reminder I needed that hustling isn&#x27;t easy but often necessary for the survival of a company. Good luck with the slight pivot :)

Solid advice - good write up
