Bootstrapping definitely has its perks. Ever since we decided to go fully bootstrapped last year, we had full control over the creative direction of our product. It's been great for exploring the market and the capabilities of Ryeboard. However, the financial burdens were also always there. As our savings ran out and we postponed committing monetizing the product, we found ourselves distracted with figuring out other ways to keep the lights on besides working on our product.
That's why we were so excited to have @Khidr9 join the team as an investor and co-founder. He has 15+ years of experience as a lawyer and has a keen interest in maximizing productivity through digital tools and workflows. In fact, he's developing a law-firm focused productivity app of his own! His experience and insight is as important as the financial resources he brings to the team.
We're really excited to see what new opportunities we can unlock with the new team!
