Trevor here. Yup! I renamed my first name to Trevor and moved Indrek to my middle name. It’s less confusing now. No biggie.

This is a once-in-a-while blue-moon Friday edition! So, without further ado, here are this week’s impressive startups. Let’s rock!

🇬🇧 Tiiny.host: A simple hosting website for developers and freelancers. Perfect for sharing quick updates for a website with clients. It's a hassle-free way to host prototypes, and more. $500/mo. (Founded 2019, prev funding: bootstrapped)

“Tiiny.host was born back in November 2019, and I've been growing the roller-coaster experience ever since. We recently hit $500 MRR.

There's a lot of configuration steps for hosting static sites, so I wanted to see if there was a way to automate all of this and expose it through an easy, accessible solution.” — Founder, Philip Baretto

🇺🇸 Disco: Discover your next favorite artist, before they go mainstream. Disco is for the upcoming and independent artists. Like what you hear? Swipe right! Not your style? Swipe left! (Founded 2020, prev funding: bootstrapped)

“I love listening to new music, and I’m tired of the repetitive top charts. Over the last few months, we’ve iterated a few times and are still figuring out our “product-market fit.”

Our broader vision now is to create a platform that facilitates a direct connection between independent artists and their first superfans.” — co-founder, Rishub Handa

🇨🇦 TablePlus: A modern, native tool with elegant UI that allows you to simultaneously manage multiple databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Microsoft SQL Server, and more. (Founded 2018, prev funding: undisclosed)

“Query, edit and manage your databases easily with a native app that can run fast like a Lambo.” — Founder, Huy Phạm

🇺🇸 userveys: A survey doesn't have to be a chore. Capture video, ratings, text responses, and more. Currently on the beta waitlist phase. (Founded 2020, prev funding: bootstrapped)

“When looking at survey tools, it felt like there was a lack of personality and humanization. Feedback is just as important as contact or help widgets. So why not have it in surveys?” — Founder, Rob Race

🇺🇸 Sidekick: A new device that runs a background video call to make it feel like you're sitting in the same room as your team. Build your best team by working side by side. (Founded 2019, prev funding: $150k pre-seed round)

“During our time at Palantir and Google, we managed multiple teams split across coasts and oceans. We know firsthand that the status quo of remote work is really challenging, and that's why we built Sidekick.” — Co-founder & CEO, Andy Chen

🏁 Enjoying The Newsletter?

Startups Crushing It! is a weekly newsletter about early-stage technology startups.

I spend a lot of time researching and testing the products. I do this so I can bring you the highest quality startups. I have no affiliation with any of the startups mentioned above.

As a rule of thumb, I look at startups who have at least built a minimal viable product. This helps me weed out the builders from the talkers. Send tips my way if you or your friend is building something awesome.

If you want more, you can dig through the archives for the previous digests.
