I don't have the, I don't have them in like right now, but probably, yeah, we had our first few customers, probably, uh, a few hundred K. Yeah, definitely.

748: How to Use Open Source Project As Lead Gen from $3m+ ARR Founder

Who do you compete with?

And we see ourselves as more of a premium product, which is much more expensive.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
748: How to Use Open Source Project As Lead Gen from $3m+ ARR Founder

We're working more with larger companies to help them get a more strategic solution.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
