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%.
Toggl is time tracking that doesn’t feel like a chore. Founded in Estonia by Alari Aho in 2006, 100% bootstrapped to $32M ARR with 1M+ users. Started as an internal tool, became a product when a recession forced them to focus. Fully remote team across 40+ countries.
