Founder stories
Twitter scheduling and growth automation tool for creators.
How Samy acquired customers
Tools used to build Hypefury
Hypefury started as a weekend project. I built the MVP in 3 days after spotting a gap in Twitter tools. Two years later, we hit $23K MRR and kept growing to 7 figures.
The first version was basic - just scheduling and auto-retweets. But it solved a real problem for Twitter creators who wanted to maintain consistency.
I found my co-founder on Indie Hackers. We complemented each other's skills perfectly - I handled product while he focused on marketing.
We increased prices multiple times as we added features. Starting low helped us get early adopters, then we captured more value as the product matured.
