Growing From $5,000 to $25,000 in MRR

Now you're talkin! When you first posted the $5k/mo blog, I was like "ok, that's better than nothing, but let me know when you've got something that can support employees". At $25k/mo you're definitely well on your way there! At $100k you've got a $1m+ business, which is great.

Kudos, keep it coming!

> If there’s any ‘growth hack’ that worked well for us, it’s been product integrations with successful companies. Early on, we looked at other companies with whom we shared mutual customers and with whom a product integration would be mutually beneficial. We built integrations with New Relic, Datadog, Pingdom, Librato, TempoDB, Heroku, and HipChat. Now, our signups love the fact that they can hook their status page up to their their existing tools with only a few clicks.

Lesson: integration and playing friendly with others is huge for B2B.

I noticed on your signup page there are a few company logos being cut off for me. Seems to be some excess margin on the h5 element that is forcing the logos into the border.

What's your process from taking a new idea for growth and implementing it?

Plan to address this in a follow-up blog post
