How Roman acquired customers
Tools used to build Awesomic
Roman tuvo dificultades para encontrar el diseñador adecuado mientras trabajaba en una startup anterior. Lanzaron Awesomic con un simple post de Facebook.
El primer cliente (Outtalent, YC S19) llegó al día siguiente. En el mes 3, tenían 7 clientes y ~$3K MRR.
Un famoso VC de EE.UU. dijo que Awesomic sería 'no escalable e infinanciable.' Minutos después, Ragnar Sass (fundador de Pipedrive) dijo: 'PRUÉBALES QUE SE EQUIVOCAN'.
