EP 358: This SaaS Did $10MM In 2015, Helps Sales People Win, Raising Capital

Well, it was in the six figures, you know.

EP 358: This SaaS Did $10MM In 2015, Helps Sales People Win, Raising Capital

So, you know, we had just made up our minds even during inbox too, that, you know, this was not the first company that we were going to start, that we were going to, you know, we were not just going to like, you know, whatever our reserves we had that we were going to sit on them or invest them in some mutual fund or something.

So that was Fileboard, you know.

Got it.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
EP 358: This SaaS Did $10MM In 2015, Helps Sales People Win, Raising Capital

EP 358: This SaaS Did $10MM In 2015, Helps Sales People Win, Raising Capital

And that's the company I'm building today as well.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
EP 358: This SaaS Did $10MM In 2015, Helps Sales People Win, Raising Capital

And do you want me to explain a bit more what Fileboard does?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
EP 358: This SaaS Did $10MM In 2015, Helps Sales People Win, Raising Capital

EP 358: This SaaS Did $10MM In 2015, Helps Sales People Win, Raising Capital
