Intercom Beta Invite Screenshot (2011)

I was a part of Intercom's beta program pre-launch back in 2011. Thought it'd be fun to see if I could find some of the old communications from the platform back then. Look what turned up!

I also found a few conversations I had with Des and Eoghan when they were still on the front lines. Founders are the sales team when you're first starting out.

A quick search shows Intercom's current valuation at +$1.25 Billion (yeah. with a B.)

Remember: all apps start small (and usually pretty ugly.) Persistence, customer conversations, and time. All key factors.
