In the first year of starting Cloud Campaign, the product was only used by a handful of companies in California (where I was located).
It's really inspiring to see how much that has changed over the years and how much of an impact our small team has had on this industry.
I was just filling out a compliance form, which asked for an exhaustive list of every country Cloud Campaign is used in. Our 31,500 users are located across 120 different countries!
The top ~20 countries (ordered by number of users) are:

Thinking back 3 years ago when I started the company and it was just me working from my apartment, I thought this day would never come.
The best part is I have an amazing team that I get to celebrate with now. Reaching this milestone is the result of many people's efforts, both internally at our team and externally with investors, advisors, and friends.
There is still a long road ahead of us to achieve our vision, but this is an important milestone along the way!
We hate tracking success by team-size, but this feels like a huge accomplishment for us. To be able to employee 10 amazing folks is no small feat.
Kienan and Matty joined the team as Junior Account Executives putting us at 10 fulltime employees and 1 intern, 1 consultant, & 1 agency.
Here's the structure of the team:
Sales:
Kienan - Junior Account Executive
Matty - Junior Account Executive
Becca - Sales Development Rep
Andrew - Senior Account Executive
Engineering:
Heather - Frontend Software Engineer
Fritz - Lead Software Engineer
Customer Success:
Casie - Customer Success Manager
Marketing:
Anya - Marketing Manager
Tuff - Marketing Agency
Biz Ops:
Luis - Intern
Caitlin - Consultant
Leadership:
Ross - COO
Ryan - CEO
We're actively hiring for a fullstack engineer in Boulder, CO:

With social media being such a visual industry, good design has always been extremely important to us.
But, up until this point, Ryan, a backend engineer by trade, was designing the entire product. Having a dedicated UX designer and frontend engineer will help us provide a better experience for our customers and make the product more intuitive to use.
Within the first month, Heather, our new designer shipped one of the most requested features -- Instagram Grid Preview
After almost 3 years of Ryan being our CEO and only engineer, we finally hired a lead software engineer, Fritz, to take ownership of most of the codebase.
With the team growing quickly 3 --> 7 employees over the past 6mo, Ryan was finding his time split between many different tasks, causing product development to slow down.
With Fritz, and soon another engineer, on the team to help, we'll be able to accelerate product development and deliver much more value to our customers.
We achieved a $.5M run rate ($42k MRR) with a full-time team of 4!
While in and of itself it's an exciting milestone, it shows that we're on track for our larger goal for 2020. Continuing on this trend, we are positioned for very healthy revenue growth over the next 12 months.
While not the typical path for Indie Hackers, we're extremely proud to have raised a $1.5M seed round to continue to deliver on our promise of helping marketing agencies scale.
Along with the capital, we have some amazing investors joining us on this journey.
Press on the round:

Becca left WeWork to join Ross and Andrew in our Portland office as our first Sales Development Rep.
She will be screening inbound leads and setting demos for Ross and Andrew. This is a huge milestone, adding more structure to our sales org and increasing efficiency.
Cloud Campaign was birthed from the Indie Hacker community so it's only fitting that we came back to tell our story on the IH podcast.
We've grown our business in one of the more crowded industries to reach $25k MRR and are growing revenue by about 30% month over month.
Give the episode a listen if you're interested in our journey!
