How Mayank acquired customers
Tools used to build Scalenut
Mayank and co-founders leveraged 10+ years of digital marketing experience to build Scalenut to $100K MRR in one year.
Mayank Jain, along with co-founders Gaurav Goyal and Saurabh Wadhawan, came up with the idea for Scalenut after spending a decade each in the digital startup industry.
They noticed the challenges that brands face in scaling their content marketing efforts. Creating SEO-optimized content consistently was time-consuming and expensive.
They launched their MVP product in September 2021 - an AI-powered platform that helps businesses create SEO-optimized content at scale.
With their combined expertise in digital marketing and technology, Scalenut experienced rapid growth. Within a year, the platform reached over 100,000 users and $100,000 in monthly recurring revenue.
