Solo-preneurship is a wave that’s coming for every industry
And it’s honestly has been one of the greatest experiences of my life.
It was really fun speaking to @beafreyanolan from @FortuneMagazine about it

@MaorShlomo @beafreyanolan @FortuneMagazine A really interesting piece. I think there’s a lot of hype about it, but not many who actually did it and succeeded to scale - that’s why this article is important

We blew past $150m arr, two months after we announced $100m
I’m doing my best right now to think strategically about how to take us to $1b, get there sooner than later.
It’s not easy at all, but I have a great gang to power through it with.
Some surprising learnings -
1. Not much is different between 5m arr - 50m arr - 150m arr.
You still get the best product feedback from users around you / people who feel comfortable with telling you the elaborated truth, no matter how many millions of users you have.
2. Once you have decent traffic, optimizing is really easier at scale - for most experiments we run we already have an answer in 2-3 days, which is really valuable when you’re looking to optimize for product velocity
3. There’s really no need for a large eng team. I thought that by the time we hit $100m run rate we will have to triple the team. We didn’t
4. Adding more features many times results in a worse experience for users, and a cluttered interface. Opening up new use cases for your audience has a much bigger impact as you scale.

@MaorShlomo @Base44 This is one of the things I love about working at base44, you don't have to get budget approval, evaluate... You just build.
Yesterday Noy, on Shira's team, reached out to me with an app she built to resolve an annoying way we were managing user discounts. Crazy world huh :)

Shira runs CX here. Before @Base44, she had never written code.
A few months ago she got tired of bending our customer care workflow to fit whatever SaaS tool we were evaluating, so she opened Base44 and built her own.
her system manages our global CX team across 3 continents.
It runs shift planning, reads live traffic to figure out who needs to be on, and pings the right people when something spikes. It tracks how each person is doing against the team's actual benchmarks, and helps them improve with live data.
The off-the-shelf version of this would have cost us north of $100k a year, and it still wouldn't have done the part that actually matters, which is the part that knows what a Base44 builder is going through right now.
She built it in a few days. Her team uses it every day, and they add features to it
themselves now, without filing a ticket or waiting on an engineer, because they know what the tool needs better than anyone
