Details
Loom lets you record quick screen + face videos instead of scheduling meetings. Insanely useful for async teams. Started bootstrapped on maxed credit cards, grew to 10M+ users, sold to Atlassian for $975M in 2023. The free tier is still generous enough for most solo use. Business costs $18 per user per month and removes the video and length limits, and Business + AI costs $24 with AI editing; paying annually saves up to 17%.
Pitch is presentations for people who care about design. Founded by Christian Reber (who built Wunderlist). Had a wild journey: raised $52M VC, then returned the money and went bootstrapped in 2024. Employees now own 80%. Interesting story of de-scaling.
