645: WeFarm Helps 140k Off-Grid Farmers Learn Faster, $1.7M Raised, 90% Still Active After 3 Months with CEO Kenny Ewan

We find that most people that churn, most people that leave, they're still in the first 24 hours.

Once people stay for 24 hours, they pretty much never leave.

It is also available online and obviously over the next few years as smartphones become more, you know, could be coming to the market more, that'll be a much higher number, but for now that's a very small percentage of our users.

Yeah, I mean, getting people to sign up is one thing, but if you come back to six months later and none of them are using it, that's obviously not a great product.

So, you know, that's been the most exciting thing for us to see people use it.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
645: WeFarm Helps 140k Off-Grid Farmers Learn Faster, $1.7M Raised, 90% Still Active After 3 Months with CEO Kenny Ewan

Yes, we're not incentivizing in any financial methods.

645: WeFarm Helps 140k Off-Grid Farmers Learn Faster, $1.7M Raised, 90% Still Active After 3 Months with CEO Kenny Ewan

In fact, we're not really incentivizing even in clever gamification ways at this time.

That's very much on our roadmap for this year is how do we start to get clever about giving people badges and significance within the platform.

But at the moment, our raise is very much for a couple of things.

We're now 20 people, as I say, most of that hired off the back of our rant.

So it's an MVP, it's done extremely well, and now we need to take that to the next level.

So that's obviously gonna take a lot of capital to get us through the next year and grow the platform towards a million users.
