Congratulations on the 220 paying customers, that's certainly no small feat. I've been running RateMyStudentRental.com for about 3 years now (well, really I stopped actively working on it about a year ago), and it only reached about half that in revenue.

Then, LeadNuke sprang forth as an internal sales tool for RMSR barely a year ago and it's approaching that level already. In hindsight, I'm really glad I didn't have this kind of success the first time around, because I have a much more realistic perspective now and I can appreciate it that much more.

In summary, mad props and respect to you.

That's awesome. Have any of them been so brave as to actually record a song?


Not yet, but this is pretty close: http://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/01/12/the-solo-founder-startup...

Patrick doesn't know about what I'm talking about though, this is unrelated.
