A physical gifting service helped customer success teams increase engagement through thoughtful, repeatable client gifts.
Fewer bars = easier, cheaper, or faster for an AI-assisted solo builder. Editorial judgments based on the case details.
We Delight was a physical gifts-as-a-service business focused on customer success teams that wanted clients to spend more or engage more. Rory Codrington describes it as a precursor to Reachdesk. The service sold to SaaS customers, including Typeform, and reached about $1,000 in monthly recurring revenue. Despite the early revenue, the business ultimately did not become the durable company he wanted, and he closed it after roughly four years as venture funding ran low and investor interest was limited. The experience helped shape his later decision to bootstrap Trust Keith with a sharper focus on must-have B2B needs, higher contract value, and customer research. The $1,000 MRR and customer names are founder-reported in the talk; the discussion does not provide third-party verification or account-level detail.
