Start A Goal Tracking App Business

Here are some real life success stories of starting a goal tracking app business:

1. Hubstaff ($6M/year)

Jared Brown, co-founder of Hubstaff, came up with the idea for the time tracking tool while addressing the issue of non-developer owners and managers not knowing how long development tasks should take. Realizing that there were very few software tools providing proof of work for freelancers, he saw a strong need for his product and started building a solution. Now, Hubstaff has grown to 10,000 paying customers and $6 million in annual recurring revenue.

How much they make: $6M/year
Current team size: 54
