Now, at the end of the year, we've hit multiples and scale we weren't sure we could reach from our early pitch deck. We've got revenue. Partners. Incredible product traction. We are underwater with feature requests and users wanting more benefits. But today, I'm reflecting.

A year ago today, we were almost out of money. We had a consulting client who owed us ~$450k, but was trying to negotiate down on the amount, despite work being fully delivered in September. Then, "the holidays" hit.

In 2019 we launched @voiceflow, and it's been an incredible year.

Together we've built an incredible community of conversational designers, developers, and builders whom collectively have powered 50M+ interactions through VF.

Couldn't be more excited for 2020! 🎉

The amazing thing about this graph isn’t really that today more bikes than cars enter Copenhagen every day. The astounding thing is to realize that in 1970 Copenhagen was just like any other car-oriented city, and over 50 years has tenaciously pursued becoming what it is today.

Attracting and retaining staff who understand technology is a huge challenge for non profits.

We can help by sharing what we know, in context, and focused on addressing their needs.
