EP 636: Bangalore Startup Hits $40k MRR Helping 18 Customers Get Consumer Data Using Social Intelligence with Frrole CEO Amarpreet Kalkat

We said, okay, we've got this intelligence, you know, we've got to find a way to monetize.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
EP 636: Bangalore Startup Hits $40k MRR Helping 18 Customers Get Consumer Data Using Social Intelligence with Frrole CEO Amarpreet Kalkat

So as you know, I'm based out of Bangalore, so, you know, things were a little differently back in Bangalore versus the Valley.

EP 636: Bangalore Startup Hits $40k MRR Helping 18 Customers Get Consumer Data Using Social Intelligence with Frrole CEO Amarpreet Kalkat

And yeah, so 2014, we launched a B2B product.

EP 636: Bangalore Startup Hits $40k MRR Helping 18 Customers Get Consumer Data Using Social Intelligence with Frrole CEO Amarpreet Kalkat

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
EP 636: Bangalore Startup Hits $40k MRR Helping 18 Customers Get Consumer Data Using Social Intelligence with Frrole CEO Amarpreet Kalkat

So actually, right now, everybody's in Bangalore.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
EP 636: Bangalore Startup Hits $40k MRR Helping 18 Customers Get Consumer Data Using Social Intelligence with Frrole CEO Amarpreet Kalkat

And I split my time between San Francisco and Bangalore.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
EP 636: Bangalore Startup Hits $40k MRR Helping 18 Customers Get Consumer Data Using Social Intelligence with Frrole CEO Amarpreet Kalkat

So I'm here, in fact, looking for our first San Francisco-based teammate.

EP 636: Bangalore Startup Hits $40k MRR Helping 18 Customers Get Consumer Data Using Social Intelligence with Frrole CEO Amarpreet Kalkat

So we actually, yeah, so base commission's there, but ideally, I'm looking for a, I would call it almost a co-founder kind of a role, you know, so we would be open to a significant chunk of equity if that works well, you know, for the right person.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
EP 636: Bangalore Startup Hits $40k MRR Helping 18 Customers Get Consumer Data Using Social Intelligence with Frrole CEO Amarpreet Kalkat

Well, 5 to 10% is significant in my book.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
EP 636: Bangalore Startup Hits $40k MRR Helping 18 Customers Get Consumer Data Using Social Intelligence with Frrole CEO Amarpreet Kalkat

Yeah, that's co-founder level equity, that way I would see it.
