Two Years of SokoSuite: Progress, Setbacks, and What's Next

Year two is done. Revenue is up. Challenges persist. Here's the update.

The Numbers

• MRR: $800 → $1,800
• Customers: 52 → 85
• Churn: 15% → 9%
• Team: Still just me

What Improved

Product: Major features shipped. Offline sync is solid. Mobile web is usable.

Sales: Figured out messaging. Conversion improved from 10% to 25%.

Operations: Automated backups, monitoring, deployments. Less firefighting.

What's Still Hard

Cash Flow: Revenue is growing but irregular. Some months are tight.

Competition: Bigger players are noticing the market. We need to move faster.

Burnout Risk: Two years solo is taxing. Need to think about hiring or burning out.

Wins Worth Celebrating

• Largest customer paying $300/month
• Zero critical bugs in Q3
• First month of profitability (September)

Year Three Goals

• Hit $3K MRR
• Hire first employee
• Launch mobile app (maybe)
• Don't burn out

The Reality

This is hard. Slower than I hoped. But we're still here. Still growing. Still fighting.

That counts for something.
