Remember when "beta" actually meant something? Yeah, us too. After more than a year of dancing through closed alpha, alpha, closed beta, and public beta like we're collecting Pokemon badges, we're officially calling it: Pilea is live.
Being a scrappy team of 2.5 humans, we've grown from zero customers to 30 without losing our minds (mostly). Plot twist: our own Pilea now has 350+ feature requests. We've become our own biggest power users, which is either very meta or mildly concerning.
The feedback chaos is real, people.
Here's the thing: we could wait until we've built all 128 integrations on our wishlist (yes, we actually have a list that long – thanks to a handy dandy tool that shall remain nameless). But we know which ones matter most, and we've nailed the core feedback loop.
We can now automatically:
For some companies, we've officially closed the feedback loop. That's not beta behavior – that's the real deal.
Sure, we don't have every integration yet. But you can see what's planned, vote for what you need most, and get notified when we ship it at getpilea.com/integrations. We're building this thing with you, not despite you.
We just wrapped a pre-seed round with some seriously smart folks – Startuplab, CTO Roundtable, Ingar Østby, and Karen Dolva among others. Innovation Norway also thinks we're onto something, which is nice validation for our coffee-fueled product development sessions.
We're growing the crew. Adding a growth manager and design researcher to our merry band of 2.5. Why? Because we're ready to focus all our energy on scaling and adding the features you actually want – more integrations, better visualizations (hello, journey maps and impact vs effort matrices), and the big dream.
The big one: Pilea that understands your entire company context and can break down complex issues into dev tasks that won't make your team cry.
We're still that small Oslo-based team who believes product development doesn't have to suck. We launched on ProductHunt today and would genuinely love your support – not just for the internet points, but because we want to connect with more teams drowning in feedback chaos.
Try us out. Break our product (gently). Tell us what we're missing. We promise to listen and actually do something about it.
Find us on Instagram or TikTok – we think we're quite funny, and our memes about product management and startup life are 👌 chef's kiss 👌.
P.S. – Seriously, we'd love that ProductHunt support.
We'll probably post an awkward celebration video if we hit #1.
