Fillout

New: Fillout Approvals ✅ I’ve wanted this since we started Fillout and it’s finally here. Automate HR requests, job applications, project approvals or any human-in-the-loop workflow. How it works: 🟢 Set approvers and approval criteria 🤖 Add notifications, automations and multi-step approvals 📝 Request approver input via email or Slack 👀 Update Airtable + Notion records based on approvals (Coming soon) ✅ View and approve submissions in one place We’re already using it for several internal processes and can’t wait to see what you think. Let me know any feedback, feature requests or questions below!

There's no point in a logo if nobody uses it. It's a small difference but we made the new Fillout brand downloadable with 2 clicks. Inspired by the great folks at Linear and Vercel!

Last week we shared that Fillout has “negative lifetime burn”. I got a few questions about it, so here’s what it means and why I think it matters: Simply put, a startup has “negative lifetime burn” if “funds in bank” exceed total funds raised. It’s the third milestone for building an efficient startup. In order of difficulty: 1. Default alive (see Paul Graham essay) 2. Profitability 3. Negative lifetime burn Why does this distinction matter? For startups, profitability isn’t enough to build a sustainable business. For example, a startup could turn profitable but have spent $20 million getting there, which means the founders and employees make $0 unless the business exits over that amount. The 2021 boom created many such "Zombie startups". It's lose-lose for all. Investors lose. Founders lose. Customers relying on services lose most. Can you build a big business while focusing on negative lifetime burn? Yes! Linear is my favorite example. They've raised 50m+, have a team of 50+ and have had lifetime negative burn since Jan 2023.

At Forum, we speak to so many founders who are trying to nail down product-market fit and deeply understand their customers. I had to share a tool I’ve been loving lately that I think just gets it—Fillout. In the age of expanding tech stacks, managing integrations with Zapier, and juggling multiple operating systems, it’s refreshing to find tools that truly understand their users. FillOut is a masterclass in knowing your customer. The product is intuitive without being overwhelming, and their UX strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and power. What impresses me most is their constant evolution—just when I think "It would be great if they added this feature," they’re already rolling it out! 🎉 In today’s landscape, you don’t need to be the perfect tool for everyone. But if you deliver for your key customers, you’ll build loyalty and create long-term value. FillOut is doing just that for me. Highly recommend checking them out! 🔧

We just launched Fillout 2.0! If you have a moment, we'd love your support on Product Hunt: https://lnkd.in/g-tA5n-A It's one of our biggest projects of the year and we'd love to know what you think of it.

Love to see a lean team build high quality products while achieving double digit growth for two years. Congrats, Dominic Whyte & team!

Congrats Dominic Whyte and Fillout! What you guys are building is truly special and I'm a big believer (and user 😀). Highly recommend everyone in my network check them out -- I will never use Google Forms / Typeform again, and I'm pretty sure they're going to replace a ton of other apps I use like Calendly pretty soon too.

Beyond excited to announce our seed round, negative lifetime burn and Fillout 2.0. 2 years ago we launched Fillout as a simple form builder. 49 major updates and 3 new products later, we now serve 1000s of paying customers and 100k+ teams across forms, scheduling, payments, workflows and document generation. Today, a Fillout form is completed every second, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (!). We’re lucky to have customers in every industry, from individuals to teams like Fairfax County, Dominos Pizza, Bombas Socks and Air .org. We’ve had a blast building up to this point and have 3 big updates to share: — Our seed round — Firstly, a thank you to the people who have backed us since the start: Elad Gil, Nat Friedman, Cristina Cordova, Gregory R., Gordon Ritter, David Apple, Lachy Groom, Liu Jiang, Dylan Field, Dennis Pilarinos, Jamie Cuffe, Steve Garrity, Eric Liu, Snir Kodesh, Mihika Kapoor, Steven Zhang, Chris Talley, Hanseul Nam, Grant Rheingold, Ethan Daly, Viggy Rajendran, Steve Wan, David Dworsky, Theodor Marcu, Prem Nair, Eleanor Dorfman, Ludwig Pettersson These folks have founded and led companies I admire, like Figma, Github and Linear (to name a few) and I’m grateful for their belief in us. — Fillout 2.0 — Secondly, we just launched a full rebrand to better represent what Fillout is today and where we’re heading. It’s been a huge team effort and long overdue. Check out it out at fillout dot com. — Profitability — Lastly, Fillout has negative lifetime burn! The business has been profitable for the last year and has more funds on hand than funds raised. It's an important milestone, allowing us to serve customers long-term without seeking more capital. It’s also a testament to our team, our early customers and our partners. Thank you in particular to Dan Leeman, Gareth Pronovost, Josh Sorenson, Josh Nieboer, Alex Noles, Derrick Delgado, Julien Mottet, Chris Dancy, Zack Stevenson, Vince Ertveld, Florian Verdonck, Avi Hercenberg and many, many others.
