4. Paperform ($2.62M/year)
Diony McPherson (from Sydney NSW, Australia) started Paperform over 6 years ago.
Hey there, my name is Diony McPherson and I’m one of the founders of Paperform. Paperform is an online form builder, but it’s really become its own beast and is used for a whole lot more, like eCommerce pages and appointments. We attract people from all walks of life, mainly running small to medium businesses, who need to create forms, product pages, and rich landing pages that capture data (we call these “landing forms”).
We’ve now bootstrapped the company to over $1.5 Million in annual revenue, but I can 100% say the biggest achievement for us personally has been hiring a Team that we love working with. Work is a good place to be.
5. 123FormBuilder ($5.04M/year)
Florin Cornianu (from Timișoara, Romania) started 123FormBuilder about 15 years ago.
Hey, guys! I am Florin Cornianu and I am an entrepreneur. First things first, I must confess that I’ve been a bit reluctant to write these answers. It’s not that I don’t enjoy sharing my experience - I do - but I feel like the stories truly worth telling are already being told by the work, the teams I’ve helped build, and the value we bring to our clients. In any case, my colleagues at 123FormBuilder argued quite persuasively that I should open up to you guys, so I must oblige, and I will do so wholeheartedly.
The one idea that kept the headlines of our whiteboards when we started 123FormBuilder, about twelve years ago, turned out to be completely valid and is still fueling our growth efforts: everybody needs to collect and manage data.
