An inside look at the stories behind the scenes at Referral Rock.
We share our successes, failures, and lessons we’ve learned along the way while building an independent software business.
What happens when a business stops sounding like a robot that just keeps posting? Here’s what we found out when we went all-in on a human-first, unhinged social strategy.
Our best features, content, and updates from 2024.
We tried social listening for our own company. Here’s what we learned, the pitfalls we ran into, and what we’d do differently.
(2017-2024) Referral Rock customers kept coming back with questions or worse, would go quiet and suddenly cancel. We needed a better, more human approach to onboarding
(2015-2017) Referral Rock’s story from beta -> real business in 3 years with no funding, an all remote team, and never leaving my chair (kinda)
(June 2015) Just another reluctant SaaS business in beta that didn’t know if customers were willing to pay. On practically a dare, that all changed overnight.
(2006-2012) I learned enough about startups and SaaS from UberNote to actually be successful. Blindspots, a startup incubator, fund raising, first customers, to holding on too long.
