It took 10-12 weeks, but we are finally done building the minimum viable product for Intervue. We, worked mostly nights and weekends, and we coded the whole thing on Javascript since that's what we are most comfortable with. In hindsight, there were a few features we built that probably could've waited until later. But I'm excited to start talking to customers and see what they think about the product so far!
After having the first 1000 interviews in 4-5 months' time, the next 1000 happened in 3 months for us.
Just posting some stats here:
Language Interview Count
We started off with targeted emailing to relevant people. We used to send around 10 emails per day and some sign-ups followed.
Out of those sign-ups few got converted and they started using Intervue month on month which gave us good confidence that this product is bringing in value.
We had 1000 interview milestone touched by our users.
During these 1000 interviews, we learnt:
We were focusing on product development only and did not do any marketing explicitly. The idea was to mature the product and signups will follow
I did wrote a 3-4 blogs about Intervue and the traffic started flowing organically.
Your product should be useful and people start flowing in automatically if it provides value.
Now I'm just hoping that a lot of them will convert to paying users soon. 馃
Today one of our first free trial customers for Intervue converted to paid. I noticed when I got the email from Stripe that said "Payment of $50.00 is successful". It felt amazing! Just 99 more of these and I'll be exactly where I want to be with my business.
I used to take a lot of interviews on Javascript and Go remotely.
Candidates were given google docs and we used to collaborate over it. Sometimes collabedit would come to help.
There were many problems with the above tools in the interview context and they were not even candidate friendly.
I and my co-founder thought of building our own tool and we ended up building Intervue
