And then we realized, HR people, we need to have some tools and hands to plan, to work with data.

So that's how we all got into this HR domain.

Took us four years to figure that out.

And then in 2014, we finally got our first paying client.

And then it was like, sorry?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

Not really.

Back then it was kind of trial and error.

clients here and there doing some stuff for free.

And then in the end, it was like a project for 18,000 euros or so.

So it was not too big, but it was fun.
