$50k MRR
by Davis BaerAfter 3 years, we have reached $50k MRR
We've been able to reach this level with only me and my co-founder Vishal - no employees.
The crazy thing is... Vishal and I have never met in person, even though we've been working together for 3 years.
He's in India and I'm in the US.
We had plans on meeting face-to-face a while back, but then COVID happened.
So for now we just continue to Zoom a couple times a week, wondering how tall the other person actually is.
Onward to the next big milestone: $83,333 MRR 🚀
I shared more of the story in a long Twitter thread:

Congrats!
Question: why are your users choosing OneUp over say... Buffer? I always thought social media scheduling is an overcrowded space.

@davis - Congrats to you and Vishal on this milestone. It would be great if you could share with the community how you scaled your business and grew your customer list. Thanks :)

The short answer: SEO and content marketing
The long answer: I am writing a book that goes into detail on all the ways we've found customers.
Here is the first chapter of the book, which goes over our strategy for marketing on Reddit 🤓 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hDTWgD-VQoBrvwsuLDqDYNMenKhIXVeApKc0L5oaUDQ/edit?usp=sharing

What caught my attention is that you have never met your cofounder. I have worked with couple of amazing people from India in my StartUp journey and yet have never met them at all. 8years later!

Congrats on the milestone. This is amazing how we can build truly remote companies.
Just wondering how have you structured the company and where?

Congrats on the milestone!
How did you get all the Capterra reviews? Did you pay for their service? Is it worth it?

Nope, never paid Capterra anything.
We just ask users to leave a review on Capterra whenever they say they're happy with the product

Congratulations on the milestone, and also - thanks for sharing re team setup! Inspiring that such a small and entirely distributed duo can deliver results like this in so short time!

Love this Davis! My own experience is that working with a remote co-founder we can work REALLY well. I have a business partner in Russia that I have met twice. SINCE 2002!! We have a remote team for one of my other businesses, that was set up in 2012, and we have only met a few of the people. My view is that the focus is on the work and you do not have other things that get in the way and that can ruin a relationship. Well done and good luck to the $1m ARR
