What's up everybody? This is Cortland from AndyHackers.com and you're listening to the

EndieHackers podcast. More people than ever are building cool stuff online and making a lot of

money in the process. And on this show, I sit down with these endahackers to discuss the ideas,

the opportunities and the strategies they're taking advantage of so the rest of us can do the same.

I'm here with Marie Martins, the founder of Talley, co-founder, really.

Marie, welcome to the show.

Thanks so much for having me. So you are, I should say, not a brand new founder. You've been at this for maybe a year and a half, two years, but I like to talk to people like you who I find in the Indie Hacker Product Directory, where you're posting all these updates about how your progress is going, and you kind of just started recently to give other people an idea of

what it's like to be an indie hacker today. I typically interview people who've been running

their companies for five years, 10 years, and they're already huge, but you started your company

kind of in the middle of the pandemic, not that long ago. Right. We're super new to the space,

actually. Even Indie Hackers was new to me. I've been in marketing

jobs before, but I really wasn't aware of this whole indie hacker world before we started Talley.

And just because Tally was being picked up in a lot of no-code communities, somehow we also ended up being more active. And that's

also just for me, it's just also a big source of inspiration and seeing how other people are

bootstrapping their businesses because that was also a whole new world to us. Yeah.

Well, your story is inspiring to me.

I was reading through some of your updates and looking at your stats.

You launched Talley, I believe, in like October of last year.

A year ago.

Yeah.

At the height of the pandemic.

And like, this is not like, you're not like a mature SaaS company.
