I started development on rukus.io about a year ago. Over the past few months we've been starting to get decent sized contracts, with many more planned for this year. We've done a great job keeping our costs extremely low, so it only took a couple contracts to cover all of our out-of-pocket expenses.

Interesting product. How long did it take for clients to start approaching you as opposed to the other way around?

My brother has quite a few industry connections, so we had some great leads to start with. With that said, he's been relentless in seeking out new opportunities which has benefitted us greatly.

Since we no longer have scaling limitations, we don't have to temper our client conversations anymore, allowing us to take on much larger campaigns.

Many of our leads lately have been from new clients contacting us from word of mouth which is extremely exciting. So it's taken about a year since we started to get the potential clients contacting us.
