Using software shouldn’t be a rite of passage.
People with good ideas shouldn’t have to stand in the shallow end as middle management defines processes based on clunky, outdated systems.

“Innovative.”
“Brilliant.”
“Everything I hoped for.”
Those are just a few of the words customers and investors alike have used to describe your products. Better yet, your sales volume and growth rates substantiate them with cold, hard number.

Remember the good ol’ days when crafting a customer acquisition model was like a reliable recipe?
A user-friendly site, a dash of customer service, shoot your customers a few emails, pepper in some advertisements, and …
Voila!
