How it started
Husband-and-wife duo Iuliia and Marc started Papermark from a tweet announcing an open-source DocSend alternative that got 40K views in hours. Marc built the MVP over a weekend and the launch tweet got 100K views; customers soon asked to pay. Using an open-core model (free self-hosting, paid hosted version and licenses for advanced features), they bootstrapped it to $75K MRR in about 1.5 years.
