Mergify launched back in 2018.

They work side jobs until 2021, 2022 when they quit and went full time.

Julian told me a year ago they were doing $35,000 a month, now doing $110,000 a month in revenue, all bootstrapped, which we love, serving 150 customers that pay on average $750 per month.

And again, they help you merge your code faster and safer with merge queues, workflow automations, and just a lot of different ways to save time.

Hey folks, my guest today is Julian Donjou.

He's the CEO and co-founder of Mergify.

He's been a free software developer for the last 20 years, contributing to multiple open source projects and publishing several books on the Python programming language.

All right, Julian, you ready to take us to the top?

All right.

So you're working on Mergify.com today.

Tell us, give us an example of a customer that's paying you to use the software.

Yeah, sure.

So what we do is we provide automation services for software engineering teams that are using GitHub.

So the common problems people have in software engineering teams that, I mean, you do a lot of code changes, you do a lot of pull requests.

Basically, you're trying to merge your code as fast as possible and, I would say,

as secure as possible.

So our customers, usually, they're having large repositories, a lot of people, engineers working on the code, and they're trying to make that process of merging the code very fast and reliable.
