Sarah Hum studied graphic design at university before she discovered she loved to help software startups create new products. She moved to Silicon Valley to work at Facebook as a product designer, but a side project helped her find a problem she wanted to solve. So she quit her job and built an initial software product called Canny with her technical cofounder while traveling the world together as nomading entrepreneurs. Within a year, Canny created enough revenue for them to live and travel frugally.

Canny is a customer feedback management software for product managers at SaaS companies to collect useful product feedback inside their products, then prioritize requests and communicate with customers about their requested features. The Canny product has evolved quickly using its own product to engage with customers and make decisions about the next product features and improvements.

Canny is growing steadily with over $3 million in annual recurring revenue and 13 remote employees. They continue to experiment with substantial pricing experiments for different customer segments. Sarah openly blogs about the ups and downs of their startup journey and their unique approaches to hiring, designing, and testing new tactics.
