$10,000 MRR

It's been a few months since my last update but StatusGator's growth has been steady. It's our goal to grow 10% every month and we're tracking about that now. We recently crossed the $10,000 MRR mark -- a symbolic but small step towards our goal of $100,000 MRR.

We recently realized that we will never meet our revenue goal without hiring more help. We hired a part-time CMO a few months back and that's been working out great. But what we really need now is help with customer service and account administration. So we're starting the daunting task of hiring a full-time Customer Success Manager. Our hope is that this will help lift the admin burden from us a bit so we can focus more on product development.

Most of our time and energy outside of admin tasks has been on a massive redesign. We're really excited to modernize our look and feel and bring much-needed product education features to the onboarding experience. I really believe we might be able to go full-time on StatusGator in the next 18 months and we're working hard to accelerate that timeline.

It's crazy to think it's taken 7 years to get here, but we are incredibly bullish on the next few months.
