Got to early revenue and some pretty encouraging sustained compounding growth in my side-project-turned-startup: https://www.zerotier.com/

This is a three year old project. 2014 saw the first auto-updating binary releases on three platforms, the first commercial users, and the first revenue. It also made HN's front page twice: once for the site itself, and once for a blog entry that I wrote on the mechanics of NAT traversal.

Currently working on a lot of prep for a possible seed round in early-mid 2015. If all keeps going well it might happen.

Wow, congratulations on your success! Have you maybe thought about redesigning your homepage? I'm certainly not in your target audience, but it was a little bit hard to understand your value proposition - maybe think whom you are selling to (CTOs, CEOs etc.) and adjust your copy accordingly. Good luck and hope you succeed in fundraising!

I'm working on a home page redesign right now, so yeah I'll have that done fairly shortly... probably a few weeks. The new version is a bit more "pro" or "enterprisey" looking and tries to clarify things a bit while continuing to keep it simple.

Clarifying the message has been tough overall. In some ways it's so simple it's hard to convey. "Connect ALL THE THINGS!!#$!#$!#4!11" ?
