#42: Second-time founder scaling up with product-led growth and 3 employees

Audio

Description

Esben Friis-Jensen was a technology professional in Copenhagen, Denmark before he and three Danish friends moved to San Francisco in 2013 to start a new startup called Cobalt. Cobalt.io grew steadily and raised several rounds of VC funding to become a sizable cybersecurity software company in Silicon Valley. Cobalt serves large businesses with a platform and services for larger companies to efficiently test and find security holes in their websites and web applications. Esben left Cobalt in 2020 to start Userflow to help software companies attract, sell, onboard and support their customers without human touch altogether using a product-led growth approach. Userflow is a no-code onboarding software to easily build in-app explanation guides, checklists, and videos for software product companies to improve free trial conversion and new customer onboarding for expanded retention. Userflow has a free trial and uses its own software to improve conversion and onboard customers without human intervention. Userflow is profitable and growing with over $3 million in ARR, 600 customers, and just three employees with no outside funding. Esben handles all growth and lives in San Francisco and his cofounder Sebastian builds the product with their UX designer in Denmark, so about $1 million annual recurring revenue per employee.
