How did Buddies HR grow?

Summary of the sourced claims below

Buddies HR's main acquisition channel has been the Slack marketplace, which accounts for more than 90% of their inbound traffic. They have also invested in SEO, spending two to three thousand dollars a month for over a year, which increased their monthly signups from about 10 to 20. Additionally, they experimented with Google ads and Reddit marketing, with Reddit bringing in about 10 signups per month, though this was small compared to Slack's contribution.
