Christopher Gimmer of Snappa

Today, I’m talking with Christopher Gimmer, the Co-Founder and CEO of Snappa, a SaaS startup that lets you create online graphics in a snap. Chris first came on the show almost exactly a year ago and shared how he grew Snappa to $20k MRR in just one year. As a MicroConf regular, it’s been great to catch up with him out in Vegas and hear how business is going but it’s not usually polite to grill somebody for 30 minutes in person, so I was excited to have the opportunity to do that today. Since our last interview, Snappa has nearly tripled and we talk about the lessons Chris has learned along the way; everything from hiring to how they’ve sustained this growth with a lean, profitable team. If you’ve always heard you need to pick growth or profitability, then Chris is here to tell you why that doesn’t need to be the case.
