We launched about 18 months ago during the pandemic. Immediately, we got a boost in sign-ups due to a mention in Techcrunch for our initiative to provide free access to anyone made redundant - to use our SaaS to find their new hiring manager. A reverse sales initiative ;) It worked well and kick-started our ARR. Our strategy focused on using our own tool & content to start driving sign-ups and over the last 18 months, that's been pretty successful - with over 1000 trial sign-ups. The problem has been our conversions to paid - initially our tool wasn't stable and we used our early beta customers as testers. They identified bugs and requested improvements, however, this did result in churn. Fast forward 12 months and we've employed some unique marketing tactics alongside a focus on quality content to get to 1k MRR. And then just as we start motoring, shit hits the fan as my CTO has to step back due to illness. So here we are. I've hired a contractor who is managing everything beautifully so far - and looking for a new CTO to step into the fray, ideally someone with an indie-hacker mentality, looking for a part-time project to get stuck into. This is a side hustle for me currently so I'd expect would be similar for any technical lead getting involved. Our stack is primarily Python back-end, with Spectre CSS front-end. Really looking for a CTO / lead developer with: Experience indie-hacking or building web apps end to end Specific focus on front-end and creating customer journeys Experience with sales & marketing automation, in particular, creating email flows & triggers Experience with data / email enrichment would be great As mentioned, I have a contractor who manages the existing Python code-base and troubleshoots any issues, however, we have had some churn due to stability issues when the previous CTO had to leave. He's still available for a chat though, just not able to work on this anymore. The primary focus is to lead / guide the development effort for the longer term. If you're game, drop a note below or msg me and let me know a bit about you / your experience and we can take it from there :) submitted by /u/finessey [link] [comments] https://www.reddit.com/r/cofounder/comments/pvsuqo/irlbiz10_looking_for_a_tech_cofounder_for_sales/
