1202 He Raised $20m+ in First Company, Now Bootstrapping in B2B Sales Tech Space, $1m in ARR

So I think when I look at that first cohort of people that were acquired, you know...

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1202 He Raised $20m+ in First Company, Now Bootstrapping in B2B Sales Tech Space, $1m in ARR

in 2017 and earlier, it's like, you know, we should be, we should be delivering at a really ridiculous rate for those people.

We got a little walk-up.

It's fun.

It's a fun neighborhood.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1202 He Raised $20m+ in First Company, Now Bootstrapping in B2B Sales Tech Space, $1m in ARR

Yeah, I mean, actually outside of metrics, what I'm mostly focused on, and I guess the metric would be, you know, expansion revenue or starting ACV is product expansion.

1202 He Raised $20m+ in First Company, Now Bootstrapping in B2B Sales Tech Space, $1m in ARR

do more stuff with the product to make that easier for people to take that to the next level.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1202 He Raised $20m+ in First Company, Now Bootstrapping in B2B Sales Tech Space, $1m in ARR

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1202 He Raised $20m+ in First Company, Now Bootstrapping in B2B Sales Tech Space, $1m in ARR

So I guess that ties back to expansion or ACV, but I think it's a little more qualitative in that sense.
