Thanks to the amazing Product Hunt community for all the upvotes and shares - it's always great to see such a positive reaction to the product you're working for! :)))
I decided to write a few words about our story, hope you'll find it entertaining :) Back in May 2013, we didn't think too much about any market launch of our app. As a PR firm owner I need a cloud-based tool that could boost my team's performance but there was none that would match our expectations. So @sprzyborowski and I decided to build our own app - Prowly.
After some planning and many discussions with our friends, colleagues & business partners it became clear that we should actually show Prowly to the industry and wait for reaction. It worked! After releasing a beta 2014 we'd received a lot of positive feedback (yeah, there were some boos too).
End of last year we raised $1.1 million series pre-A. It proved our thinking was right. We were well recognized in our home market (Poland) already, so it was time to start thinking globally. Today we have 130+ clients, 25% of which are based outside Poland. And we're just getting started :)
Thank you!
