At that time, we had like 15,000 free users. And then once I released that paid version, I was able to convert like 500 to them to the paid version. I remember as soon as I announced the new paid version, half an hour later, someone from Spain, it was very early in the morning. So someone from Spain was the first customer, then someone from the UK, I believe, and then from the East Coast.
And then all these subscribers trickling in. And it was a great feeling. Even though they were just paying $9, it was an amazing feeling.

I remember one of our developers once came to me. This was a very long time ago. And he said, OK, yeah, we built the, we rewrote JotForm the third time. So are we going to work on something new now? And I said, look at these users, look at these customers, all these requests coming from these customers and how they use our product that we can never finish with this product.

We have to continue working on improving it. And what happened was over time, um, we discovered that we are not just a form builder, right? In the beginning, it was just like, can we build a product that can let people like, they can just go and build their own forms on their own easily. Like just make the easiest form builder. And, uh, That was our focus.

But over the years, we started seeing that people weren't just using it to create forms. People don't just create forms so that they can collect data. It's actually about some... workflow. It's about some task. It's about some work that needs to be done. So someone is making a request for something. Someone is registering for something. Someone is making a payment to purchase something.

There are just so many use cases for forms. and people aren't just filling the forms just to send the data because there is just like so many things happening after that there's a workflow so we started seeing our job as to helping people automate all the things they do once they get the data with the form so we start building all these additional features and products

So, for example, recently we released JotForm Sign. So it's a full-blown e-signature product, very similar to DocuSign, because we saw that people who actually had forms, they also needed e-signatures. So we also released this product called JotForm Apps, where you can actually create this mobile app from your forms. And let's say within your company, you have all these forms.

And we actually found the idea because we had the need. Like I was asking people, okay, where is this form? Like where is this HR form? Where is this like, you know, request form? Like I was asking people about like all these forms because we were using our product as much as possible. But I was always losing the URLs for the forms. Right.
