Milk Video hit $100,000 ARR in July

What I've been up to this year and the march to $1M!

Hello friends!

As you may or may not know, I’ve been working on a new company

¹

for almost one year now.

For those who don’t remember how they subscribed to this, it was either through my street art indexing project, my numerous side projects around extending attention span or typography, or possibly one of my blog posts.

In any case, I’ve been writing a weekly email for the past (almost) 52 weeks about the company’s maturation and growth. Previously these emails have been for a small group of friends and people who have been helpful over the year.

Given the past year, I started out with an idea, turned it into a product people would pay for, formed a company with a old friend, raised our first angel funding, pivoted the product, got into y combinator, launched publicly, hit various revenue milestones, raised a seed round, hit another financial milestone and along the way - a whole lot of crazy stuff happened.

Overall, I’m planning to share these emails in a batch format, with some retroactive thinking that I can now clearly speak to. Given that I’m also still actively going through a lot, I don’t know how regular these “packs” of email releases will be. That being said, I want to give you a heads up that this is what I’ll be sharing in the coming weeks.

Thanks for following along!

Final note, if you’d like to be helpful in anyway to our actual company, I’d love all the support. For one, I wrote a white paper on a “Guide to Repurposing Virtual Event Recordings”

. If you happen to know anyone who may be interested in that topic, I’d greatly appreciate you sharing it with them.

Thank you!

P.S. I promise to share some awesome side-projects and unique hacks in due time.
