I'm on a podcast! 🎙️ Had a blast chatting with @evansammccann to discuss my product journey – from @tinyheartsapps to my most recent acquisition at @getuptimeapp.

It was a fun opportunity to reflect. I hope there are some useful nuggets in there for fellow product builders 💪

Building startups is hard – huge shoutout to my founder therapy peeps who were always there to listen and give feedback

4th acquisition down and a huge opportunity ahead. I'm stoked – let's start building 🥳🚀

[Corey Pollock @cpollo01]

We started building Uptime only 1.5 years ago. Our goal was to give Shopify merchants peace of mind and this acquisition is going to help us 10X that mission faster than we ever could’ve hoped for. @richgilbank, @TaylorSicard, and I couldn’t be more excited about the future!

[Corey Pollock @cpollo01]

@robjama @richgilbank @TaylorSicard Thanks Robleh! 🙏

[Corey Pollock @cpollo01]

I’ve been following the journey of @awilkinson since my @TinyHeartsApps days. Through him and @robjama I became fascinated with the bootstrapped business way of life. It’s truly a full-circle moment for me to be joining under the umbrella of such an amazing organization at Tiny.

[Corey Pollock @cpollo01]

More specifically we’ll be joining the @pixelunion team – a true OG in the Shopify theme space. Alongside their Theme Updater Shopify app, Uptime will join a growing constellation of store management apps that make it easier for merchants to grow and manage a Shopify online store

[Corey Pollock @cpollo01]

@jkeussen @shop 🤤 looks amazing!

[Corey Pollock @cpollo01]

@gilgNYC 💯! The current infra had created a lot of janky app experiences in this space, which is bad for merchants and developers.

[Corey Pollock @cpollo01]

@edwardchik @getuptimeapp Thanks Edward! 🙏🏻

[Corey Pollock @cpollo01]

It's been 9 months since we launched @getuptimeapp on the Shopify app store 🤯

To reflect on this time we put together a 2022 year in review to showcase some of the most interesting and surprising Uptime stats 🥳 🧵

That's just a small sample of some of the stats in our Uptime 2022 year in review. Make sure to check out the post for more interesting deets!

[Corey Pollock @cpollo01]

Merchants uploaded over 1,000 automated QA test flows which ran 187K times!

That means we saved merchants 3K hours worth of manually testing their stores – in that time you could watch the entire Game of Thrones series 42 times 🤯
