Chief Sumo Noah Kagan here with a special announcement: AppSumo turns 15 years old this month. Wow. They grow up so fast. 🌱 I started AppSumo in a SF basement in 2010 – this is what appSumo.com looked like: |
| Graphic design was our passion. |
| A lot has changed - I moved out of SF, had a baby and even went bald! But a lot more has stayed the same. |
| We’ll never compromise on the best software deals on the internet. We’ll never stop sending you really really good emails. And we’ll never stop supporting entrepreneurs like you. I’m writing this letter because the last 15 years wouldn’t be possible without you or the founders & creators that partner with us. We’ve been lucky enough to work with thousands of partners, and have paid $180M+ back into their products. I’m proud of the partners we’ve worked with that are doing cool things. Here’s just a few: |
| Dan from brain.fm David from BIGVU Pawel & Damian from NeuronWriter—MOST popular deal we’ve ever run… and it’s back in the store right now ;) Blaine & Ramon from Castmagic Alan from Imgur (first deal on AppSumo!) So many of our founders have gone on to do incredible things after launching on AppSumo. That’s thanks to you. Looking ahead to the next 15 years, here’s just a few cool things you’re gonna see more of: |
| New Deal Types - This month, we’re launching something new: 15 ‘alternative deals’ (still working on the name, hit me up with ideas) with flexible terms. That means we can expand the partners we work with and create more sustainable deals for everyone--AND still be the best price anywhere. Founder Stories - We’re been talking to million-dollar founders so you can steal borrow their learnings for your own business. Here’s one of my recent favorites. Originals - Really excited to invest more in tools our team is creating in-house. Improving BreezeDoc and launching ANOTHER product this month, keep an eye out. 👀 AI - We’re building a more robust AI tool collection, plus launching something very soon that we think is going to change software forever. Sign up for the waitlist here. Thanks for being part of our journey. Here’s to the next 15. ❤️ & 🌮, Noah |
