It's been about 3 years since starting my company SellX building and testing in the shadows. A little over a year and change we raised a pre-seed with a solid platform, already pulling in revenue with a 3 person team.

We launched officially out of beta in April and today we grew our team to 50. Not focused on 'hyper growth' but 'controlled growth' & 'stability'. Terms that have been failed to be recognized at fast growing companies, but we knew since day 1 we needed to focus on something that satisfies our marketplace.
