Great story! Thanks for sharing.

Did you hire any freelancers or interns to get help when you were working alone? I'm considering doing that now to help me with some backend support work, while I focus on the core product. These are little jobs which need to be done to help me move faster.

If you did, do you have any tips or advice?



We haven't really done much with freelancers. Some of the design work and a little bit of development was outsourced to friends that we already had relationships with. These days we have a sys admin and bookkeeper on retainer so they help a little bit every month, but for the most part, we keep all of the work in house.

I don't really have any tips or advice beyond making sure that you meet people and build the relationships long before you need them. Then, you have people that you trust that you can turn to when you're ready.
