👋 What’s up, Sumo-lings!

I’m Karan, the co-founder of Grigora – a lightning-fast platform to build websites, publish SEO-optimized blogs, and send newsletters — all without writing a single line of code.

💡 Why did we build Grigora?

As entrepreneurs, we constantly juggled between multiple platforms: one for blogging, another for newsletters, and a bunch of tools for SEO. It was overwhelming and expensive. We wanted something better — a fast, unified platform that empowers creators, marketers, agencies, and founders to launch and scale without roadblocks. So we built Grigora.

🛠️ What makes Grigora special?

⚡ Ultra-fast Website Builder: Create beautiful, responsive websites using our drag-and-drop editor — no dev skills needed.

✍️ SEO-Optimized Blogging: Use AI to write high-ranking content, get real-time keyword suggestions, and auto-link internally to boost engagement.

💌 Integrated Newsletters: Collect subscribers with built-in forms and send newsletters directly from Grigora.

🔍 Powerful SEO Suite: Research keywords, track rankings, and analyze performance — all in one place.

🤝 White-Label Support: Customize Grigora with your own branding and offer it to clients under your name.

🌍 Built for everyone, everywhere.

Grigora supports users across the globe — whether you’re a solo blogger in Spain, a digital agency in Canada, or a startup founder in India, our platform is ready for you.

✅ What’s included in the AppSumo deal?

All features mentioned above are fully available from Day 1. Plus, there’s an optional white-label add-on available via our platform.

🛣️ What’s next?

We’re actively building out our roadmap with advanced AI features, team collaboration, and more design blocks. Check it out here: https://roadmap.grigora.co/

We’re here to grow with you — so feel free to drop questions, feedback, and ideas in the discussion. We’ll be hanging out and answering everything personally. 🙌

Let’s build something amazing together!

— Karan & the Grigora Team 🚀

What are past projects, failures, or successes you’ve had in your career?

Like many founders, our journey has been filled with both wins and stumbles — and every step brought us closer to Grigora.

We previously built and scaled SaaS products like Poper, an AI-powered onsite engagement platform, and Latracal, which explored automation in digital workflows. Some ideas took off. Others didn’t. But every failure taught us what truly matters: simplicity, speed, and real user value.

The biggest lesson? Tools shouldn’t slow creators down.

Grigora was born out of that belief — a platform that merges speed, control, and SEO into one streamlined experience. No clutter, no plugins, no delays. Just creation at the speed of thought.

We’re here because we’ve lived the struggle of building online. Now, we’re solving it — with you. 🚀

What 3rd party tools is your product critically dependent on?

LLMs

Where is your customer data stored?

Northern Virginia, United States

What is your current monthly recurring revenue (MRR)?

8000

How many customers do you have today?

900+

What’s the origin of the idea for your product?

Grigora started as a WordPress alternative. We were building sites on WordPress but constantly ran into bugs, slow performance, and plugin conflicts. Managing updates and fixing issues took more time than building content.

So we built Grigora—an all-in-one platform without the bloat. It’s fast, secure, and doesn’t rely on plugins. We created the platform we always wished WordPress could be.

What problem is your product solving and how?

Grigora solves the complexity and clutter of traditional CMS platforms. Most tools either require coding, rely heavily on plugins, or lack performance. Grigora changes that with a fast, all-in-one platform for websites, blogs, newsletters, and SEO—no plugins, no slowdowns.

What sets us apart? Blazing speed, built-in AI, internal linking, white-labeling, and newsletter tools—everything creators need, in one dashboard.

What’s the #1 thing you’re looking to gain from the AppSumo campaign?

We're looking to gain valuable feedback from the AppSumo community to fine-tune Grigora even further. At the same time, we're excited about the potential virality and word-of-mouth that can come from launching in front of such an engaged and passionate user base. We hope this campaign helps us discover new use cases, reach a global audience, and accelerate our roadmap through real-world insights.

What are your plans with the customers, cash, and learnings from the AppSumo campaign?

Our plan is to reinvest the revenue and insights from the AppSumo campaign directly into Grigora’s growth. We’ll double down on feature development, improve customer support, and expand integrations based on feedback from Sumo-lings. The learnings will shape our roadmap—especially around scalability, onboarding, and templates. If this goes well, we’ll accelerate our push into global markets, launch advanced AI capabilities, and build a tighter community around Grigora.

Any details to clarify about the deal?

There are no major country restrictions — Grigora works globally 🌍 and supports international users out of the box.

As for the deal, everything mentioned will be available from Day 1. The only add-on that isn’t part of the base tiers is WhiteLabel, which can be purchased separately from within the Grigora dashboard. It won’t be part of the AppSumo codes.

If anything changes or new features are added during the campaign, we’ll post updates in this thread to keep everyone in the loop.

Anything else you'd like to add?

We’re super excited to have you here and can’t wait for you to try out Grigora! 🙌

Grigora is more than just a product — it's something we've built with care, shaped by real-world frustrations and a deep passion for making the web easier for everyone. Your feedback and support mean the world to us, and we’re here for all of it — the questions, the suggestions, and the honest takes.

Thanks for being part of this journey. Let’s grow Grigora together 🚀 💜
