📘 Our Story

I’ll try to be quick about our story over the last 6 years...

u/Nickfogle and u/lofi-baird started our journey in 2015 when we tried to build a community-platform based on audio called uTalk (yeah, they were wayyy too early). Long story short, it didn’t work out and we spun out an internal marketing tool we built into Wavve.co.

We lucked out while searching for engineers on Upwork and found u/robmoo_re, who would later become an equity holding partner in Wavve and a fellow co-founder in our new companies.

5 years later, Wavve.co hit 145k MRR and was acquired by CalmCapital.com.

Over those five years, u/lofi-baird also started Zubtitle.com (which he still runs and does 114k MRR) and @nickfogle became a founding engineer at Casa. We all also started Duplikit.co.

Most recently, we built a suite of internal tools as a way to reduce churn across all of these SaaS companies. It worked so well that we packaged them up and released them as their own product, Churnkey. We now help other SaaS companies cut churn by deploying optimized cancellation flows.
