Hi Graham, thanks for taking time for an AMA. I would love to hear any background you are able to share about how you started Voltage. What were the biggest highlights from your first year as a company as you got things off the ground?
Great question. So I started Voltage because it was my Ikigai. It was clear a service like this was needed in the space and I felt like I had the ability to solve the need.
For the more practical side of things, I wrote the Voltage platform on my own in my nights and weekends while I had a full time job. I launched it and tried to just get users by talking to people and spreading the word. It started to take off enough that I was able to raise some venture capital money to help sustain it (Infra hosting is not cheap) and started hiring. Things have been rolling since!
Biggest highlight is to stay nimble early. This is a totally new technology and every day you gotta question your assumptions and ensure you are solving the right problems at the right time.
