SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
EP 413: SaaS, $242k MRR, $13 Million Raised to Re-Invent Business Email with Mathilde Collin of FrontApp

I think now it's my responsibility to always have a few years of runway.

Otherwise, I would not sleep well.

And I think that's how I think about it.

No, not married, no kids.

It is.

I mean, I also love doing other things than working, but it's my main responsibility.

I have one co-founder who is the CTO of the company.

So pretty easy.

We have the same amount of equity.

It's also, I think, a piece of advice that we received from YC.

And actually, we started the company and not long after that, we went to YC.

And so I would recommend that to every founder, even the one that maybe will join a few months after.

If you look at the beginning of the company, it seems like it makes a difference.

Maybe someone is investing a little bit more money, more time, is joining a bit earlier.

But I think when you look at the whole life of the company, so maybe eight years, then it won't matter.

And so I think it will create a lot of frustration if founders are not equal.

Exactly.

So right now, to be perfectly honest, we have no marketing team.

So growth has been organic.

So it's, I don't know if you've noticed, but I write personally a lot of content and that's how we acquire users.
