Did we detect a disaster and avoid it from happening?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1753 "IoT AgTech Device Hits $1m Software Run Rate and $1.2m in Hardware Sales. Can He Get $60m Valuation? "

And the fact is there are several examples now when we detected a disaster which did not happen.

So today we are penetrating the hay market.

1753 "IoT AgTech Device Hits $1m Software Run Rate and $1.2m in Hardware Sales. Can He Get $60m Valuation? "

So that has come down slightly, not a lot.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1753 "IoT AgTech Device Hits $1m Software Run Rate and $1.2m in Hardware Sales. Can He Get $60m Valuation? "

That has come down to maybe, I think, $3,500 to $4,000.

to add more value because we have several software products which will be coming.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1753 "IoT AgTech Device Hits $1m Software Run Rate and $1.2m in Hardware Sales. Can He Get $60m Valuation? "

Once we have the balls, we want to be able to sell people additional products which can give them more value.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1753 "IoT AgTech Device Hits $1m Software Run Rate and $1.2m in Hardware Sales. Can He Get $60m Valuation? "

Well, everybody's paying for the software component.
