The one-glance read on who they are and how they grow. Each point is verifiable from the receipts above.

What they sell

An embeddable survey and feedback widget for Shopify and other e-commerce/SaaS merchants, now at $125K MRR as of June 2026.

GTM posture

Founder-led and marketplace-anchored: one person, Jason Zigelbaum, still runs the growth loop through the Shopify App Store, Hacker News, and an affiliate program.

Scale signals

$125K MRR as of June 2026 (up from ~$86K MRR / $1.03M ARR entering the year), ~110,000 monthly visits, and 38 combined active Google + LinkedIn ads as of 2026-07-16.

In their words

"I spent 2 years building a feedback tool with only the features I need," his framing for a 2026-02-06 Show HN post (source).

Testing now

Google's newest creatives as of 2026-07-10 test blunt CTAs like "Get Started For Free" and a standalone "Survey Tool For Agencies" pitch, five days old.
