July 16, 2019 >$1000 in MRR!

We just passed $1000 in MRR today! It feels amazing to generate revenue, and to build something that's passed $1000 in MRR feels surreal.

Let's keep going! We're not done and I believe that we are getting closer to building a product that people really love.

Love ya!

    Just had a peek at your website, I'm curious to know where the money comes from, can you share? Is it the parents or the partners that pay?

        Duh Rosie, yeah. Don' t know how I missed that. Think I looked at every page apart from that one.

        It's an interesting model and perfect for so many of these types of companies as their tech set up is usually poor.

          We also monetize on our partner side actually! (It's a really low monthly fee for now, but we think getting them into the mindset of paying will help in the long run).

          ~85% of our revenue comes from the parent side.

May 19, 2019 Got our first paying customer!

REVENUE!

We got our first paying customer today and it felt absolutely amazing. I screamed in my kitchen and startled my mom!

I'm proud of what we've done, but the show isn't over! Let's keep grinding and evaluating our product.

The goal now is to get a few more paying customers and try to get closer to Product-Market fit.

Love ya!

April 26, 2019 25 Partners!

We've built up an inventory of 25 officially signed partners! We killed it this afternoon by signing four.

Going from 1 -> 25 took a long time, with lots of back and forth. We learned a lot along the way though. We treated each sale as an opportunity to learn and it helped us refine our product a lot along the way.

Now it's time to focus on demand side!

All love!

March 17, 2019 Signed Partner #1!

We signed our first partner today!

Only a couple days after shipping the MVP and working on partner leads, we were able to close our first partner.

We're really excited and they showed a lot of interest since the beginning. The goal is to get ~20 partners first before focusing on some growth on the parent side.

Love ya!

March 15, 2019 Shipped MVP

Woooo! The initial traction was promising and I was able to ship an MVP in a pretty short amount of time. We even had cycles to interview users to make the experience even better.

I built the app using React since it's what I'm most comfortable with. The backend is a basic Node Express app and MongoDB.

I believe in you and I love you!

February 7, 2019 Landing Page is up!

We decided to build a basic landing page and throw $100 on Google Ads to see if we could spark basic interest with signups. We wanted to validate parts of the problem before committing resources to actually build an MVP.

We're hopefully that we can get some traction!

Love you!

I was fortunate growing up and my parents put my happiness during childhood above their own needs. I want to give back to all the parents out there trying to put smiles on their children's faces.
