Here’s what happened...
Before founding AppSumo, Noah Kagan worked a soul-crushing day job. Not loving his cubicle at Intel, he became employee #30 at Facebook and then #4 at Mint.com. But the work still didn’t excite him.
He wanted more—so he did something he’d always wanted to do. He started his own business.
It failed.
Then he tried it again a few times (more like six). And still, not all of his ventures worked out. He knew he needed better tools, more knowledge, and more community. With that, he saw a new problem that he wanted to solve.
So in 2010, Noah decided to build a platform to help fellow entrepreneurs by promoting the best tools at insane prices. And well, things have really gotten out of hand around here since then.
Today, AppSumo is all about making entrepreneurship accessible to everyone. Noah's one-man show has exploded into the leading digital marketplace trusted by 1.25M+ entrepreneurs. And with a fast-growing team of 150+ based in Austin, Texas, we're not slowing down any time soon.

What they’re saying about us
I bought Niceboard from AppSumo last year. I think I paid $99 for it and it's been a six figure revenue stream in about six months. It's been ridiculous. There's a ton of hidden gem software tools on AppSumo that can help your business. That's where I look first now.

Overnight, literally, Nichesss went from a side project to my main source of income... I really believe anyone that's creating a product or service that's geared toward entrepreneurs or people in the world of digital marketing—you need to list your product on AppSumo.
Malcolm Tyson Founder of Nichesss
I'm a huge AppSumo fan and being able to partner with you in this capacity has been amazing. In fact, I launched several other products on your marketplace this past quarter and look forward to seeing their growth in 2022. BTW, your staff is fun, friendly, and helpful. Love the sense of humor in the emails!
Destini Copp Founder of Course in a Box
The greatest achievement is its market validation…. AppSumo provided us with a sales funnel that let us validate our startup idea. AppSumo has a wonderful community of committed users who are willing to stick around with your product. They are patient for small bugs because they are in for the long run.
