Thanks Francesco! This was a bit over a year ago now and we’ve hired 3 people since then. Our goals are aggressive. We had a lot that we wanted to do and we couldn’t do it as quickly alone.

Great blog post. I only have something in my mind after reading it. Sounds like you want to grow already, but it seems premature to me. Why not stay small? 100k ARR seems very low to start hiring 2 new people. What’s your point of view?

Hey Andrey, cool to see you reading our stuff. I’ve definitely seen you around in the nomad / maker communities.

Lots of organic (via “Powered by Canny”) because our product is used by our customers’ customers. Also a handful of the other usual SaaS channels (FB/Google ads, content, Quora, etc). Focusing hard on inbound + low-touch + self-serve, not outbound.

How people fidning Canny? Is it SEO or word to mouth?

They are fantastic!

I am just getting started building a B2B SAAS for the Ecomm space, so everything you are writing about is super relevant to what I am doing.

Congrats on your success so far! I am looking forward to reading more about your continued success and using Canny for my product after I launch.
