There's really good outbound technology.

But partnership tech was...

Bootstrapped to $82M: How Callum Mckeefery Built Reviews.io from His Kitchen Table

A bit rubbish.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Bootstrapped to $82M: How Callum Mckeefery Built Reviews.io from His Kitchen Table

I actually used two partner solutions.

Bootstrapped to $82M: How Callum Mckeefery Built Reviews.io from His Kitchen Table

I like main names at reviews and both of them were garbage.

I never even got one of them running properly, even though we spent $100,000 a year on it.

So I wanted to build a complete partnership solution.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Bootstrapped to $82M: How Callum Mckeefery Built Reviews.io from His Kitchen Table

And I went into it very naive.

And that's what we're doing.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

I wouldn't say we've got true product market fit, even though we're doing okay in revenue.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

We're at, you know, about 69,000 MLR.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Bootstrapped to $82M: How Callum Mckeefery Built Reviews.io from His Kitchen Table

But we've not got true product market fit there yet.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Bootstrapped to $82M: How Callum Mckeefery Built Reviews.io from His Kitchen Table

We're still developing the products.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Bootstrapped to $82M: How Callum Mckeefery Built Reviews.io from His Kitchen Table

And then going back to the old days, I'm on the phone listening to what our partners want.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Bootstrapped to $82M: How Callum Mckeefery Built Reviews.io from His Kitchen Table

And I'm trying to get that off our moments again.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Bootstrapped to $82M: How Callum Mckeefery Built Reviews.io from His Kitchen Table

And that's really exciting.
