    Awesome Interview, Igor, and a great product! I was wondering if you have a referral partnership? i think we can drive quite some leads to you guys..

    Very cool product. I was actually looking for something like this earlier for CozyCal users to upload their profile pics. I settled on Cloudinary, but to be honest I don't like their Javascript integration. It's quite dated and the documentation is poor. Planning on giving Uploadcare a try when I get a chance!

      Hi Chris, hmm, if you get a chance to use our JS API, it'd be great if you shared your experience with our docs. Just shoot me a note at ilya@uploadcare.com

    Great interview and great timing!

    I'm about to do a test implementation of Uploadcare in our SaaS. We currently use a combination of jQuery Direct S3 File Upload in our Rails front end and on the backend, AWS Elastic Transcoder for video & audio transcoding, S3 for file storage and imgix for image/PDF delivery.

    Very interesting to read not only the MRR but also that's it's a cash positive company. For some reason I assumed it was heavily venture-backed and was a log way from being profitable.

    Looking forward to working with it and seeing if I can replace all my connected services with this one product.

      Awesome, glad you like our story! We're deciding if we'd like to get some additional investments (or not), but either way, the product will be fine :)
