Highlights

• TinyPilot achieved astonishing growth in revenue, jumping from $15k in December to $42k in January.
• Most of TinyPilot’s sales came from a single positive YouTube review.
• TinyPilot is experiencing growing pains as I scramble to meet demand.

Goal grades

At the start of each month, I declare what I’d like to accomplish. Here’s how I did against those goals:

Hire a freelance developer to help with TinyPilot development

• Result: I ran one trial hire that didn’t work out, but I’m currently trying with another.
• Grade: A

Hiring a new developer is a slow process, but it’s going according to plan. With each trial hire, I’m finding ways to help them ramp up faster. It also helps me recognize what qualities I should look for in future hires.
