And here's why I was wrong.
And the same thing goes for Google or other companies.
The trick that I think of one of the biggest pieces to successful SaaS entrepreneurs is focus.
Google has a million things going on.
They're trying to perfect a million businesses, a million apps, a million pieces of software.
We have one thing.
Our blinders are on.
We're now all in on process.
That's all we're thinking about.
That's all we're doing.
And I think that that's our competitive advantage.
We bootstrapped at first, but then SureSwift gave us a little tiny...
uh, funding amount just to pay for our developer, which we were grateful for, but we already blew past that.
So, so now how much, how much did you raise?
Yeah.
So as you may remember, my first SaaS startup was my startup that was acquired by Source of Capital.
It was one of their early acquisitions.
They've acquired, I think, 36 companies right now.
And I was one of the first ones.
And about a year or so after that, I came back to consult, help them, give them some advice and some pointers and some consulting on how to grow different SaaS products in their portfolio.
