I make a living from the SMS & telephony API I made.
Our MRR is ~500 000 EUR and our pricing model is pay-as-you-go (per SMS, per MMS, per phone call minute, per month for virtual mobile phone numbers).
The problem we solve is programmatic access to the mobile networks, specifically in Europe/Sweden.
We got out first paying customers through offline networking: going to hackathons, meetups and poking tech friends to find the first few early adopters.
Which is also our biggest challenge, it is hard to scale an offline based go-to-market method.
It has certainly been a painful struggle to get here and it still feels surreal it works so well.
