Details
Canny helps product teams collect, organize, and prioritize customer feedback. Clean interface with built-in roadmaps and changelogs.
Bootstrapped to $3.3M ARR by Sarah Hum and Andrew Rasmussen, both ex-Facebook. Remote team of 16, profitable since year one.
Otter.ai transcribes your meetings in real-time. Founded by Sam Liang (ex-Google location services lead). Hit $100M ARR without a single sales rep: grew purely through word of mouth from journalists who loved the free tier. Great for anyone who needs meeting notes without manual typing.
