So as long as the law in question is the contract that they wrote, it doesn't matter how smart Verizon's lawyers are.

Exactly.

Yeah, so it's 35% of $300.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
He Sue's Cell Phone Companies that Pray on You with Jon Colgan of Cellbreaker

Uh, you, you pay the, you pay the 35% upfront and we have a, uh, no ETF guarantee, which basically says if, if we don't do what we say we're going to do, you don't pay us anything.

So in October, it was kind of a wonky month because we're in the process of transitioning from cell breaker, which is our sandbox brand.

to a new brand, Vito, that's actually gonna be vertical agnostic.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So we actually didn't take any new orders in October, but I can give you the most recent normal month.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So this would've been August of 2015.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So we saw about 13,000 users pass through, and we were on track for a $13 million annual run rate.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
He Sue's Cell Phone Companies that Pray on You with Jon Colgan of Cellbreaker

Right.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
He Sue's Cell Phone Companies that Pray on You with Jon Colgan of Cellbreaker

That was our pipeline revenue.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

We don't realize the revenue immediately when you place the order.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
He Sue's Cell Phone Companies that Pray on You with Jon Colgan of Cellbreaker

We realize the revenue when we fulfill the order.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
He Sue's Cell Phone Companies that Pray on You with Jon Colgan of Cellbreaker

That's the way we do the accounting.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
He Sue's Cell Phone Companies that Pray on You with Jon Colgan of Cellbreaker

But yeah, we track pipeline revenue and that's how we get to the annual run rate.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
He Sue's Cell Phone Companies that Pray on You with Jon Colgan of Cellbreaker

The determinants that are responsible for the variation are how quickly the carrier will just sort of settle the case, how many steps we have to go back and forth in the chess match.

So there are a number of factors that determine the turnaround, but the customer, our user of our platform, is done in precisely seven days.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
He Sue's Cell Phone Companies that Pray on You with Jon Colgan of Cellbreaker

So we basically take it from there.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
He Sue's Cell Phone Companies that Pray on You with Jon Colgan of Cellbreaker

So once an order is placed, once we realize that pipeline revenue, we actually don't have a whole lot of fallout from there.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
He Sue's Cell Phone Companies that Pray on You with Jon Colgan of Cellbreaker

And that's based on our success rate in fulfilling the order.
