About

Koala is an intent-based pipeline intelligence platform that translates product usage data into actionable sales signals for go-to-market teams at product-led growth companies. When free trial or freemium users exhibit high-intent behaviors — completing activation milestones, inviting teammates, repeatedly engaging with paid features, or matching ideal customer profile attributes — Koala surfaces these signals to sales representatives with context about what the prospect has done in the product. This bridges the gap between product-led self-serve motion and the sales-assisted motion needed to convert high-value accounts.

About

Bruno is an open-source API client and testing tool — a lightweight, offline-first, git-friendly alternative to Postman and Insomnia — enabling developers to explore, test, and document APIs with collections stored as plain-text Bru files in the project filesystem rather than in cloud-synced proprietary formats. Created by a solo founder in 2022 and growing to a 9-person team by late 2024, Bruno operates with an unusual philosophy: the founder publicly declined 8 venture capital offers to preserve product freedom and build toward profitability, with the core Bruno client remaining free and open-source (MIT license) while the Golden Edition provides enterprise features for commercial revenue. Pro and Ultimate paid editions launched in 2024.
