EP: 465: 120,000 Customers, About $200k MRR, $10M 2017 ARR Goal with RocketReach.co CEO Amit Shanbhag

I mean, so this is the one key difference between us and our users, right?

EP: 465: 120,000 Customers, About $200k MRR, $10M 2017 ARR Goal with RocketReach.co CEO Amit Shanbhag

So if you look at our website, if you look at our profile pages and our product, I mean, it's not super polished.

EP: 465: 120,000 Customers, About $200k MRR, $10M 2017 ARR Goal with RocketReach.co CEO Amit Shanbhag

EP: 465: 120,000 Customers, About $200k MRR, $10M 2017 ARR Goal with RocketReach.co CEO Amit Shanbhag

And we ask them, why are you choosing us compared to our competitors?

EP: 465: 120,000 Customers, About $200k MRR, $10M 2017 ARR Goal with RocketReach.co CEO Amit Shanbhag

And the answer, again and again, consistently, is the quality of the data.

EP: 465: 120,000 Customers, About $200k MRR, $10M 2017 ARR Goal with RocketReach.co CEO Amit Shanbhag

If you use something like emailhunter and data.com, the accuracy is going to be around the 40% to 50% mark.

EP: 465: 120,000 Customers, About $200k MRR, $10M 2017 ARR Goal with RocketReach.co CEO Amit Shanbhag

Whereas ours is 85%.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
EP: 465: 120,000 Customers, About $200k MRR, $10M 2017 ARR Goal with RocketReach.co CEO Amit Shanbhag

Absolutely.

I mean, in fact, if you use something like email hunter or data.com six times out of 10, you won't even get the email.

So what, what gives you the advantage?

EP: 465: 120,000 Customers, About $200k MRR, $10M 2017 ARR Goal with RocketReach.co CEO Amit Shanbhag

No, it's more, it's better science.

EP: 465: 120,000 Customers, About $200k MRR, $10M 2017 ARR Goal with RocketReach.co CEO Amit Shanbhag

I mean, to be completely honest, right?

EP: 465: 120,000 Customers, About $200k MRR, $10M 2017 ARR Goal with RocketReach.co CEO Amit Shanbhag

So between me and Andrew and Alan, I mean, we've got a total of 30 years of data mining experience working on petabytes, petabyte scale data.

EP: 465: 120,000 Customers, About $200k MRR, $10M 2017 ARR Goal with RocketReach.co CEO Amit Shanbhag

That's not a trivial advantage.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
EP: 465: 120,000 Customers, About $200k MRR, $10M 2017 ARR Goal with RocketReach.co CEO Amit Shanbhag

We know what we're doing and we know how to do it at scale.

EP: 465: 120,000 Customers, About $200k MRR, $10M 2017 ARR Goal with RocketReach.co CEO Amit Shanbhag

Not only are we looking broadly, we have a scoring system which actually predicts searches and then evaluates the output using essentially a regression system at real time.

EP: 465: 120,000 Customers, About $200k MRR, $10M 2017 ARR Goal with RocketReach.co CEO Amit Shanbhag

And both because we're going very broad and we're doing it at real time, our data is likely to be much more accurate.
