My boostrapped 35K MRR SaaS year in review

👋 Hi, I’m Iron from Simple Analytics, a privacy-friendly and simple Google Analytics alternative.

Simple Analytics is a two-man company. Before writing this, I sat down with my co-founder to discuss the previous year.

It’s a super insightful conversation to have. We do this every year. It’s good to reflect on our feelings and what went well (and didn’t) to plan for next year.

This write-up is a distillation of what came out of that conversation.

Overview in Numbers
💰 35.5K MRR (+36%)
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 >10K users
🤝 1330 paying customers
📊 1.3 Million website visitors (+32%)
🐦 4250 Twitter/X followers (+100%)
🗞️ 1 Newsletter launched with almost 400 subs (Thank you!)
✊ 0 dollars in funding
