👋 Hey AppSumo fam!

I’m Sebastian Gyr, CEO of Indy — a platform built by freelancers, for freelancers. 🚀

Like many of you, we started out with a passion and a laptop... and not much else. We know the hustle, the late nights, the invoicing nightmares, and the joy of finally landing that dream client. That’s why we built Indy — to give independent professionals the freedom and tools they need

to run their businesses their way. 🛠💼

At Indy, we believe:

✨ You deserve to make a living on your own terms. No gatekeepers, no middlemen, no bloated tools you don’t need.

✨ Being independent shouldn’t mean being alone. That’s why we created Indy University — packed with resources, templates, and expert advice to help you level up your business and personal growth.

✨ You should never be forced to lower your value. You’re the expert. We’ll never tell you to reduce your rates — instead, we’ll help you manage your projects, contracts, and clients like a pro.

✨ Our tools adapt to YOU — not the other way around. Everything we offer is customizable and editable, because your workflow should reflect your style, your brand, and your goals. And the best part? Our core tools — like proposals, contracts, time tracking, and invoicing — will always be free. Because access to professional tools shouldn’t depend on your budget. 💸🧠

We’re thrilled to partner with AppSumo to bring Indy to even more freelancers, creators, consultants, and solopreneurs. Your voice matters to us — in fact, many of our best features came directly from user feedback. We’re committed to building this platform with you.

Whether you’re just starting out or scaling to new heights, Indy is here to support your journey.

Let’s redefine what it means to work for yourself — together. 💪🌍

Welcome to Indy.

Let’s get to work — your way. 🙌

— Sebastian Gyr

Where is your customer data stored?

Our customer data is stored securely on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure across multiple regions. Primary data storage locations include the United States (N. Virginia, Ohio, and Oregon), as well as other enabled AWS regions in Europe (such as Ireland and Frankfurt) and Asia-Pacific (including Tokyo and Singapore).

All data is managed in compliance with relevant data protection regulations, and we ensure that security and privacy best practices are followed across all locations. If required, we can provide more specific details about data residency or implement region-specific data storage based on contractual or regulatory needs.

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

The idea for Indy was born from our own experiences as freelancers — navigating isolation, chasing invoices, and juggling too many tools. We believed there had to be a better way. So we set out to build a platform that empowers independents to thrive on their own terms, with the freedom, support, and respect they deserve.

What problem is your product solving and how?

Indy solves the chaos of freelancing by bringing all the essential tools — proposals, contracts, time tracking, invoicing, and more — into one simple, intuitive platform. It helps independents stay organized, look professional, and get paid faster, so they can focus on doing the work they love, not managing a dozen apps.

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

The #1 thing we’re looking to gain from our AppSumo campaign is a strong boost in customer growth and engagement, while also generating revenue and gathering valuable feedback to refine and elevate our upcoming product releases. This campaign is a key step in building a thriving community around Indy.

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

We plan to reinvest the cash, feedback, and momentum from the AppSumo campaign directly into new feature development, product enhancements, and upcoming releases. We'll continue listening closely to our new customers to shape Indy into the most powerful and intuitive platform for independents, ensuring they have the tools they need to grow and succeed.
