From “We’ve made it!” to “Oh sh*t, now what?” — I’m sharing the real story of building Proposify.
I’ve been building Proposify for over a decade — through bootstrapping, hyper-growth, hiring execs, missing goals, fixing culture, shipping great (and not-so-great) products, and somehow coming out the other side.
This newsletter is where I break it all down — what worked, what didn’t, and what I’d do differently — so you can build smarter, faster, and with fewer sleepless nights.

Fascinating article, Kyle. Love your honesty and vulnerability here.
