Three months ago Checkly was a bootstrapped solo project run by me from a desk in the back of a Berlin fashion label's spare floor space.
Now we are six people on a mission to give active monitoring and E2E testing a very serious kick in the butt. We raised $2.25M from Accel and group of cool founders and Angels.
I wrote a massive blog post about how that all happened, what the motivation is and everything in between. I hope it helps other solo founders find out what they want to do with their business.
