Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?

Hi, my name is Kevin Yun. I’m one of the co-founders of GrowSurf, a referral software for tech startups.

We are a B2B SaaS startup. Our customers are B2C and B2B tech startups that want to integrate a referral program into their products for low-cost customer acquisition.

We are currently around $25k MRR. All of our metrics are openly available here.
