Description
Today I’m joined by Jeffrey Bunn, who is the co-founder of Clearful, a digital journal app he built with his wife, Maria. Previously they co-founded Mealime, a meal planning app which grew to a whopping $65k MRR before they exited in 2018. In this episode we cover the story of founding both apps, how they utilised the app stores for growth and why they started a B2C app in a crowded market.Timestamps00:00 Intro01:30 Starting Mealime07:07 Pivot to mobile and reducing prices08:36 Mealime Growth09:46 Private Equity Exit10:38 Life post-exit and learning to code12:24 Starting Clearful13:31 Clearful growth through the app store14:50 Runway and futureRecommendations
