Top Founders · 710: How This SaaS Company is Using $20 Million to Scale · 4 Jul 2017 podcast

So in January, we announced a $12 million raise.

That was actually an inside round from our existing investors.

So we're totally thrilled about that.

I mean, it really signals a lot of confidence in what we're doing, you know, in the market opportunity.

So, yeah, that was the last round.

That was a Series B round.

And that came together really, really nicely.

Well, the initial plan, so in the fall when we started our roadshow, the initial plan was to go out and raise an external round.

And we actually had some amazing discussions with some top-tier investors in Boston, in the Valley, likewise here in Canada as well.

And at the end of the day, we got a call.

I think this was sort of mid-November from our existing investors who said, listen, we want to do a preemptive round.

We're really bullish on this.

And we want to continue taking this forward.

So we did use market to validate.

And we had actually a number of interested parties that got pretty far with us, even as the insiders were putting a term sheet in place.

So we did feel like we had a really good sense of what was fair, what the valuation was we were getting.

Yes and no.

We actually got we actually got some verbal.

Sure.

You know, that were actually far more lucrative, but there was some math and some obligations that came along with it that, at the end of the day, just didn't make sense.
