To our wonderful BookingKoala family,<\/p>\n

Vivek Prajapati and I<\/a> started BookingKoala in 2017. After a year and a half of development, we finally launched the platform to the public. At first, things were slow while we figured out what our customers wanted, but after two years, we started to pick up momentum.<\/p>\n

2020 was good for us, 2021 was great, but 2022 was our best year yet. We not only hit our revenue goals for the year, but we nearly doubled them. Many users are switching to BookingKoala, and tons of entrepreneurs are starting their businesses, and I couldn’t be happier. More users = more money, and more money = more capital to build a better product for everyone. I’m a big believer in product first and marketing second. That is why the majority of our revenue gets reinvested right back into the software. We barely spend any money on advertising, yet we are growing yearly and crushing our goals because we keep building and improving.<\/p>\n

As we start 2023, we will continue to follow what is working: to continue building and improving. Vivek and I are incredibly passionate about what we are building and constantly working to improve the product. Our goal for the year will be to deliver as many new features, modules, and improvements as possible<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For those starting their first business in 2023, remember not to get discouraged when things don’t take off immediately.

I hope you all have a safe and wonderful New Year, and a BIG thank you to the thousands who trust us with their businesses. Also, thank you to our incredible team that works so hard to improve our company, our affiliates, and everyone who is part of the BookingKoala family.<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/p>\n
