LINKEDIN - Asgeir Visir, Co-Founder & CPO at Smitten, reflects on his ten-year journey with his co-founder David Simonarson to build social consumer apps. They have tried and failed many times, including unsuccessful attempts at various products, marketing tests, and investors. They have also moved cities and pitched to VCs, including Sequoia Capital, without success. Despite these challenges, they have persisted and have finally achieved success with their latest product, Smitten. They have raised ~$13M in venture funding, reached $1.5M in annual recurring revenue, and have 600K+ downloads in five markets.
