In the wave of entrepreneurship, close cooperation between technical and non-technical partners can often burst out powerful energy. Today, we will tell such a story - a successful entrepreneurial case about time tracking software. The driving force behind it is the joint progress of technical and non-technical partners.
Imagine you are working hard on a project, but your boss has no idea how you are doing. At this time, a software that can accurately track work time and content emerges. It not only records your efforts, but also proves your value. This is the protagonist of our story today - a software called Hubstaff.
This software was born from the unique vision of a non-technical partner. He originally worked in SEO and was good at traffic acquisition, but when managing a team of more than 50 people, he discovered a problem: every time he paid wages, he needed to pay 10% to the talent outsourcing platform. This made him feel that it was not cost-effective, so he began to miss the software system that could record employee workload and time. This system not only improves management efficiency, but also ensures the quality of employees' work.
With this idea in mind, he moved quickly and hired a development outsourcing team to build the software. Soon, he successfully attracted the first batch of users with his SEO skills. However, he knew that without his own technical team, the software would not be able to operate for a long time. So he started looking for technology partners.
After three months of unremitting efforts, he finally convinced a technical guru to join his team. The addition of this technical partner has injected new vitality into the team. They started from scratch and re-coded the software. For more than a year, despite no income, the four-person founding team (including the SEO founder, technical partners, and two engineers) have been working tirelessly.
Finally, a beta version was released in September 2012, and a paid version was launched in August of the following year. The software not only drew complaints from remote workers because it tracked their time too accurately, but also won over bosses. It helps them manage their teams better and increase work efficiency.
Today, the software has achieved significant success, with annual revenue reaching a staggering $22 million. This is inseparable from the close cooperation between technical and non-technical partners. Their respective expertise complemented each other and jointly drove the success of the project.
This case shows us the huge potential of collaboration between technical and non-technical partners. A partner who is good at generating traffic and SEO works hand in hand with a partner who understands technology and can develop products, and together they create a successful entrepreneurial story. This also reminds us that on the road to entrepreneurship, it is crucial to find like-minded partners. Their addition can not only bring new energy and creativity to the team, but also promote the rapid development and successful implementation of the project.
