We raised $400K angel funding in 2017, and have been (just) profitable since the start of this year. At the moment we’re focussed on product and growth, so any top line increases we spend on development, and getting more customers.

Since I launched GMass in 2015, we’ve had over 500,000 user signups.

Our main goal is to help our customers succeed using Mutant Mail. After all, their success is our success.

Hey, we’re the Sean’s - Sean Gee and Sean Barnett. We started Electric Sauce, which is a data-driven, retention-focused, email marketing agency. Well, micro-agency since it’s just the two of us.

Hi, my name is Joachim Brouckaert, I’m 24 years old and I started Add Value 1 year ago. Today, Add Value is a growth marketing agency. We’re focused on full-funnel marketing. Performance marketing, building landing pages, websites, funnels, email marketing flows. We do it all!

Currently, we are working with a team of 5 people for our customers and on our growth. But we are once again looking for an extra Growth Marketer! When we talk about turnover, we do an average of 30k per month. This fluctuates, as we sometimes take on larger, shorter projects. On average, we work for 18 active clients per month. Our retention is generally good, but short projects such as an analytics audit or building a website cause this number to fluctuate.

Hi everyone. My name is Mike Taber and I’m the founder of Bluetick.io. We’re a self-funded SaaS app that helps salespeople, customer success reps and busy founders close the loop with their customers using sequences of automated email follow ups.

I wasted several years of my life trying to get my last product off the ground, only to eventually pull the plug because it wasn’t going anywhere. I wanted to be reasonably sure this was going to work so I spent almost three months talking to prospective customers and validating the idea. By the end of that process, I had collected enough prepayments that on paper, I had over $1,000 MRR without having written a single line of code.

My name is Dimitri Ive and I’m the CEO and co-founder of Dashly, a platform that brings all conversations from a live chat, emails, socials, and messengers into one place. It simplifies the way businesses communicate with their loyal customers.

I started it in May 2022 and it already reached $2500 MRR at the time of this writing.

Hello, I am Onur Geneş and I am the founder of Nureply. Before entering the SaaS world I had a Software Development Agency called epistio. It is still functioning but I wanted to get away from service businesses to make a SaaS product.

Today I am helping SaaS and agency owners to make more money only using emails and nothing else. Nureply makes $4,000 per month in the 4th month, and I am just starting!

Hi, I'm Troy Ericson - founder of Copywriting.org and EmailDeliverability.com– which are the 2 things that I do in my business, Email Paramedic. Our flagship offer combines those two things - it’s called Email List Management.

• Rob Walling and Derrick Reimer co-founded Drip, a platform for marketing automation after first being an email service provider.

• Drip began as a simple add-on widget included with Mailchimp or AWeber and developed into a full-fledged ESP with the ability to send bulk emails and manage lists. After that, automation was introduced, taking it to the next level—almost like Mailchimp plus.

• Months after launch, Drip reached $8K MRR.

• In July 2016, Rob and his co-founder sold Drip to Leadpages. After that, Rob worked for Leadpages for almost 20 months.

• Walling estimates that between $100K to $150K was spent on the app’s development. Although expensive for a two-person operation, it was successful because Drip is today a million-dollar SaaS company.

• Rob just established TinySeed, an early-stage VC fund and remote accelerator that seeks to close a market need by offering capital to SaaS firms that don’t strive for the $100 million milestone.

• Since 2018, this e-commerce marketing automation software has brought in more than $2 billion in revenue for its clients. Currently, Drip’s estimated yearly revenue is $24.4M.
