We closed December 15th of 2017.

Got the check, I think, January, early January.

18.

Interesting.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Estated Grows 100%, Breaks $1.7m ARR for Property Data Platform

Did that feel fair at the time?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Estated Grows 100%, Breaks $1.7m ARR for Property Data Platform

No, it was an idea, honestly.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Estated Grows 100%, Breaks $1.7m ARR for Property Data Platform

But we did have this...

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Estated Grows 100%, Breaks $1.7m ARR for Property Data Platform

existing business in the background that was doing about three and a half million a year.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And I guess 3 million us at the time.

So I think we just got like a five X on that, but they were buying into both businesses, but I was pitching that a stated was going to be the big one.

And we have a very clear path to get to 10 million ARR.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Estated Grows 100%, Breaks $1.7m ARR for Property Data Platform

I think we could get to two and a half, three this year if we keep this up.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So, um, that'll be like 300% growth, which, um,

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Estated Grows 100%, Breaks $1.7m ARR for Property Data Platform

we'll be in a healthy position.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Estated Grows 100%, Breaks $1.7m ARR for Property Data Platform

Yes, for sure.

Honestly, like, you know, when, if we were to go raise a series A, there's a pretty good chance that I would take it off the table instead of taking like cashing out a little bit of my founder stock or something at that raise.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Estated Grows 100%, Breaks $1.7m ARR for Property Data Platform

I would probably just be like, I'll just take that business out because one, it's a little bit of a headache for us to do the reporting on to them.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And ultimately they know it's not the end goal for us.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Estated Grows 100%, Breaks $1.7m ARR for Property Data Platform

And so we've pitched a stated so hard.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So I absolutely would recommend if you can still raise at the same value though, because your VCs are smart and they're like, oh, you have this cashflow business in the back.
