SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
HR SaaS Hits $500k ARR Helping Teams Give Rewards to Employees

So we've done about 1.5 today.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
HR SaaS Hits $500k ARR Helping Teams Give Rewards to Employees

We've got another 2 million that will come in by the end of the year.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
HR SaaS Hits $500k ARR Helping Teams Give Rewards to Employees

So the gift cards, it's very thin margin.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
HR SaaS Hits $500k ARR Helping Teams Give Rewards to Employees

It's 3%.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
HR SaaS Hits $500k ARR Helping Teams Give Rewards to Employees

So wish it were more.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
HR SaaS Hits $500k ARR Helping Teams Give Rewards to Employees

We're working on negotiating the margins, but gift cards are notoriously thin margin in that perspective.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
HR SaaS Hits $500k ARR Helping Teams Give Rewards to Employees

No, that's our total volume.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
HR SaaS Hits $500k ARR Helping Teams Give Rewards to Employees

I wish it was our 3% take.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
HR SaaS Hits $500k ARR Helping Teams Give Rewards to Employees

We're working on getting there.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
HR SaaS Hits $500k ARR Helping Teams Give Rewards to Employees

No, no, MRR is completely distinct.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
HR SaaS Hits $500k ARR Helping Teams Give Rewards to Employees

So MRR is pure, like the customer has two charges effectively.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
HR SaaS Hits $500k ARR Helping Teams Give Rewards to Employees

They've got their recurring charge, obviously for their subscription, and then they separately buy rewards.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So those are more on an invoiced basis.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
HR SaaS Hits $500k ARR Helping Teams Give Rewards to Employees

Correct.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
HR SaaS Hits $500k ARR Helping Teams Give Rewards to Employees

In fact, our total, I refer to it as net platform revenue.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
HR SaaS Hits $500k ARR Helping Teams Give Rewards to Employees

So net platform revenue for last month was closer to 40K.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
HR SaaS Hits $500k ARR Helping Teams Give Rewards to Employees

I'd like to say we're mostly bootstrapped.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
HR SaaS Hits $500k ARR Helping Teams Give Rewards to Employees

In 2018, I got it in my head that we needed to raise some capital.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
HR SaaS Hits $500k ARR Helping Teams Give Rewards to Employees

We did a very small pre-seed round, less than 300K Canadian.

So very little in terms of dilutionary impact.
