Highrise turns one today. Check out the original launch post from March 20, 2007. And here’s a 36-hour follow-up post with changes based on early feedback. It’s cool to look back at the comments from both posts.
Our fastest growing product ever
In terms of 12-month revenue growth, Highrise has been our fastest growing product ever. Monthly revenue for Highrise on its first birthday is about 3x Basecamp’s monthly revenue on its first birthday. Of course Basecamp was launched 4 years ago, and Highrise benefits from Basecamp, Backpack, and 37signals’ brand recognition, but we’re really pleased with the growth so far.
Some quick stats
- Nearly 5,000,000 contacts in Highrise
- Over 1,000,000 tasks created
- And just under 1,000,000 emails forwarded into Highrise
A $10-off coupon to celebrate
If you haven’t yet signed up for Highrise, here’s some extra incentive: Enter coupon code 1YEARHR in the coupon code box during the signup process and you’ll save $10 off your first month. If you already have a Highrise account, you can upgrade your account and use the same coupon code. Just log in, click the Account tab, select a higher plan to upgrade to, and then enter 1YEARHR in the coupon field.
Thanks again
Thanks again for your support. We hope you’re finding Highrise as useful as we are. Check out some recent posts about Highrise on the Product Blog.

on 20 Mar 08Happy Birthday! I remember watching the preview posts and the excitement of seeing the actual ‘LAUCHED’ one pop up finally. I use Highrsie to keep track of life stuff (yes I called you to cancel that account, yes I know exactly who I talked to and when, yes my CRM system is better than yours, etc). Definitely an incredibly useful tool. I continue to be impressed with how useful your products are all without overcomplicating things. Your judgement and control are top-notch.

on 21 Mar 08Jason,
In a comment reply on the Highrise launch post, you said:
Have these plans been shelved? Presuming you want to encourage people to get stuck in across your product range, don’t you think some kind of cross-product dashboard would add value to each product when used together?
It could have stuff like integrated recent activity, parallel BC and HR tasks, joint BP/BC upcoming calendar and recent messages, list of BC projects, bp pages list, CF rooms and activity list, HR tags, plus quick and links to common input functions: new contact, task, page, reminder, milestone, calendar entry…
I realise that all those things together would be horrendous, but surely you guys can put your heads together, tackle the technical challenges, and rustle up something really useful?

on 21 Mar 08JB, as a rule we don’t comment on future plans, sorry.
