What I’ve Been Up To Since My Last Interview

It’s been going really well since we last spoke. A lot has happened with Plasfy, and the growth over the past year has been bigger than I expected.

Aggressive Growth Through Ads

The biggest change was going hard on Facebook ads. I ran very aggressive campaigns, and the results were immediate - a huge influx of new users, reviews, and industry awards. At one point, the volume of sales coming in was so high that I had to actually scale the ads back just to keep things manageable.

Recognition on G2

That growth translated into recognition. Plasfy was ranked #40 on G2.com, which puts it in the Top 50 Software Companies in Australia & New Zealand across all industries. What makes me proud is that the ranking is based purely on customer satisfaction.

Plasfy is the only bootstrapped solo-founded company on that list.

I’m also the youngest founder represented there.

For me, that recognition validates the thousands of hours I’ve put into building Plasfy from the ground up.
