Details
Calendly is THE scheduling link. Tope Awotona bootstrapped it for 8 years with $200k of his own money before taking investment in 2021. Now has 20M+ users. Not the most innovative anymore, but it just works and everyone recognizes it.
Noko (formerly Freckle) is time tracking that doesn’t suck. Built by Amy Hoy who bootstrapped it to over $1M ARR while also running 30x500 and Stacking the Bricks. The UX is genuinely pleasant, which matters when you need people to actually log their time.
