Year in Review

Twelve months of milestones, earned in 2 minutes

Example brief

Make a year-in-review for a bootstrapped SaaS company — opening: 'We started 2024 with 12 customers and a prayer.' Six milestone beats (March: first enterprise contract, May: team of 5, August: $1M ARR, October: product award, November: 1,000 customers, December: Series A closed) each with a date card and metric overlay, the defining moment of the year (the customer who almost churned and became their biggest advocate), a genuine thank-you to the team and community, and 'Here's to 2025'
