INSIGHT

GDPR Created A Market Window

  • GDPR became enforceable in 2018, creating immediate regulatory demand for privacy-first analytics.
  • That timing opened a niche where alternatives to Google Analytics could gain traction.
ANECDOTE

Found By A Co-Founder Via Blogging

  • Uku found Marko via a blog post comparing Google Analytics alternatives and reached out to collaborate.
  • They trialed working together for a few months and then formalized the co-founder relationship.
ADVICE

Let Product And Content Drive Growth

  • Build product features that answer market events and pain points instead of buying ads for awareness.
  • Use organic channels and timely feature launches (like import tools) to capture users migrating from incumbents.
