1007 How Outbound.io Grew to $30k MRR Before Exiting to ZenDesk

We had a team of five.

Total.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1007 How Outbound.io Grew to $30k MRR Before Exiting to ZenDesk

And we built so much product with those five people that we were able to basically punch way above our weight.

And now as we develop the business, if we hadn't ended up at Zender,

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1007 How Outbound.io Grew to $30k MRR Before Exiting to ZenDesk

Of course, we would have had to invest in some of these things and we would have needed to do marketing.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1007 How Outbound.io Grew to $30k MRR Before Exiting to ZenDesk

You do need to do that at some point.

But we were able to keep stay so close to the customer and build so much product that then, you know, we kind of had options around that.

So so payback period, we never worried too much about that, given where we were as a business, because basically we were getting word of mouth.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1007 How Outbound.io Grew to $30k MRR Before Exiting to ZenDesk

Yeah, and we had core expenses, and we were all stretched really thin.

1007 How Outbound.io Grew to $30k MRR Before Exiting to ZenDesk

You can't do that forever, and that was a consideration.

So we were one-man armies heading up different divisions, each of us.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1007 How Outbound.io Grew to $30k MRR Before Exiting to ZenDesk

And I should say we went through to get to those five people.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1007 How Outbound.io Grew to $30k MRR Before Exiting to ZenDesk

we probably went through at least 10 people.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1007 How Outbound.io Grew to $30k MRR Before Exiting to ZenDesk

So it was this thing where we needed the right people in place to be able to run with that model.

1007 How Outbound.io Grew to $30k MRR Before Exiting to ZenDesk

But that's how we got profitable and that's how we ended up with auctions.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1007 How Outbound.io Grew to $30k MRR Before Exiting to ZenDesk

Yeah, so my co-founder, Dhruv.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1007 How Outbound.io Grew to $30k MRR Before Exiting to ZenDesk

Yeah, so Dhruv Mehta worked with me at Getaround.

1007 How Outbound.io Grew to $30k MRR Before Exiting to ZenDesk

It was just him though, right?
