How Tally Bootstrapped to 60k MRR with a Team of Five

In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show, our host Alex Theuma is joined by Marie Martens, Co-Founder of Tally, who shares how the company bootstrapped to 60K MRR with a team of five. "So we thought 'what if we can make forms fun again?' What if we can make a form builder that is actually enjoyable and that people like to use - because forms are just really boring. It is a very competitive space but then we thought if we are going to bootstrap it, it is easier to grab 1% of a really big market than to grab 100% of a small niche one, so let's just try this. We know the demand is there, and that's how we came up with the idea of building Tally." Marie shares: 🌟 Why they chose to bootstrap Tally 🌟 Generational expectations for how to 'set yourself up for success' vs reality 🌟 How they're positioning themselves against the competition 🌟 The journey of getting Tally's first users (including the little trick she used on ProductHunt!) 🌟 Why Tally chose a freemium model and more!      Check out the other ways SaaStock is helping SaaS founders move their business forward:  🇮🇪 SaaStock Europe: 14-15 October 2025 | Dublin, Ireland Book you tickets: https://saastock-europe.com/tickets/ 🇺🇸 SaaStock USA 2025: April 2026 | Austin, Texas Join the waitlist: https://saastock-usa.com/ 🤝 SaaStock Founder Membership: A private members group of B2B SaaS founders between $100K - $10M ARR who are committed to growth and helping others (https://www.saastock.com/founder-membership/) 🌎 SaaStock Local: Monthly meet-ups in cities all around the world, bringing together SaaS enthusiasts and experts to discuss the most pressing topics in SaaS (https://local.saastock.com/home)
