A couple of things the judges may wish to know:
Adrian Tobey, the founder, borrowed 100K from family and friends to start this software in fall 2018 at the age of 23.
They were justtwo developers (himself and Dhrumit) who built Groundhogg.
The team has grown to 5 and we areobsessed about quality ofproduct development &customer service.
We've really bootstrapped this growth. Our founder has been guesting on Podcasts, building up a Youtube Channel, creating relationships with other WordPress developers, and simply grass roots community building.
Groundhogg currently has over 80 hours of training content on its Youtube Channel.
Groundhogg's Facebook community is now over 1000 users strong.
The innovation of Groundhogg 2.0 has helped us acquire customers who made the switch from SaaS products such as Active Campaign, Hubspot, Infusionsoft, MailChimp and others to our WordPress CRM.
Currently, the team has grown to 4 engineersand they are building Groundhogg 3.0.https://youtu.be/Z1tVCNtpORU">(Vision for 3.0 Video here)set for release Q1 of 2021
