3 Year Anniversary for the Marketplace

I can't believe that we're here. 3 years ago my business partner Henning Sanden and I launched the first crude version of the FlippedNormals Marketplace. Just a few weeks later, we quit our jobs in professional VFX to pursue this full-time.
So many things have happened in those 3 years and we've learned so much about what it means to run a startup.

We set out on this incredibly ambitious journey with little of the knowledge we have today. And like most founders, I find it hard to believe that I would take the plunge had I known just how hard it would be. At the end of the day though, it's all been worth it.

3 years on we have more than 10,000 published products and over 1200 creators that are selling through the marketplace.

At the end of the UK fiscal year, we also crossed that magic number of more than $1,000,000 ARR. An absurd number I could never have imagined in my wildest dreams.

While covid has definitely impacted the earnings, I'm optimistic about the rest of 2021 and the exciting things we have planned.
