I co-founded Pigeon SMS (https://pigeonsms.com) with my dad just a couple of years ago and we reached profitability just a few months after founding.

We provide business texting services to businesses of all sizes. Some of our customers include a city, vet clinic, glass shop, screen printing firm, boutique retailers, and on and on. Really any business can benefit from adding texting to their communications.

My advice: Pick something that will keep you interested and motivated to come back to when life gets busy.

I have a friend who works for ZipWhip which seems like the same sort of space. And they just raised $51 mil, so I guess there's need for this sort of product!

Congrats on the launch. Would you be able to recommend off-net sms providers that you have had good luck with?

It really depends on use case. They all have their pros and cons.

How do you market to local businesses? Aren't they the least technical people? Congratulations though!

[albydarned]

It can be difficult for sure. Trial and error mostly.

Can you share some tips that have worked for you?
