New players are coming to the market.

Bootstrapped to $15M ARR: How Flipsnack Scaled Digital Publishing with SEO & $200K ACVs

I think we can do better.

Bootstrapped to $15M ARR: How Flipsnack Scaled Digital Publishing with SEO & $200K ACVs

But now that we're more focused on the enterprise and we are now learning how to deal with enterprise companies, I think the revenue for 2026 will look completely different in a good way.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Bootstrapped to $15M ARR: How Flipsnack Scaled Digital Publishing with SEO & $200K ACVs

I think we will have an impressive growth.

The way the team is working together right now and the focus, I think will take us into probably the best year of Flipsnack.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Bootstrapped to $15M ARR: How Flipsnack Scaled Digital Publishing with SEO & $200K ACVs

So 2026 should be and will be the best year of Flipsnack.

Right now, I think it's 94 people.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Bootstrapped to $15M ARR: How Flipsnack Scaled Digital Publishing with SEO & $200K ACVs

And I'm very happy and proud to say that these are people, I mean, most of them are people that are with the company for 10 years plus.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And now we are going to, as part of our growth and expansion efforts, we're going to open some sales offices, probably Japan, Korea, Portugal, and Switzerland.

Okay.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Bootstrapped to $15M ARR: How Flipsnack Scaled Digital Publishing with SEO & $200K ACVs

How many folks in the 94 today are sales reps?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Bootstrapped to $15M ARR: How Flipsnack Scaled Digital Publishing with SEO & $200K ACVs

Approximately six.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Bootstrapped to $15M ARR: How Flipsnack Scaled Digital Publishing with SEO & $200K ACVs

Approximately six people are doing sales, but we need to do a lot better on that side.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Bootstrapped to $15M ARR: How Flipsnack Scaled Digital Publishing with SEO & $200K ACVs

Well, obviously, none of our sales initiatives are aimed towards the self-serve people.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Bootstrapped to $15M ARR: How Flipsnack Scaled Digital Publishing with SEO & $200K ACVs

So self-serve is just you come to the site, you like it, you pay your subscription, you use it, and so forth, obviously with the limitations given by your subscription.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Bootstrapped to $15M ARR: How Flipsnack Scaled Digital Publishing with SEO & $200K ACVs

Our sales efforts are towards enterprise companies that have special needs.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And we will also be able to offer special services for those special needs.
