People, once they get used to it, it's hard for them to move out.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So I think most of the churn actually happens in the first three months.

But if you can get people through the first three to four months, they tend to stick and basically grow with the product.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So almost all of it is organic.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1371 Gmail Helpdesk About to Close $4m Round on $20m Pre with $1.4m in ARR

First of all, we do pretty well on some very high intent, low traffic, high intent keywords.

If you search for shared inbox or if you look for a way to do customer support out of Gmail, if you search for any combination of Gmail and Help Desk, for example, you'll find us very, very easily.

So, you know, I think we are acquiring 80 to 90% of our customers free of cost, you know, through organic search, right?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And the rest is actually coming through AdWords.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1371 Gmail Helpdesk About to Close $4m Round on $20m Pre with $1.4m in ARR

We have a small $8,000 to $9,000 per month in AdWords spend, which is, you know, driving some of our acquisition.

1371 Gmail Helpdesk About to Close $4m Round on $20m Pre with $1.4m in ARR

Okay, so, you know, our average blended CAC, you know, as you would say, across organic and, you know, paid would be around $450 to acquire a single logo.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1371 Gmail Helpdesk About to Close $4m Round on $20m Pre with $1.4m in ARR

This is, yeah, yeah, of course.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1371 Gmail Helpdesk About to Close $4m Round on $20m Pre with $1.4m in ARR

Yeah, so, you know, I mean, the product needs a lot of work, you know.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1371 Gmail Helpdesk About to Close $4m Round on $20m Pre with $1.4m in ARR

So, basically, we are a very small, you know, 20 people product team.

And if you look at where the product can go, if you look at the, you know, the scope to build out on top of the email as a platform, it's huge, right?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1371 Gmail Helpdesk About to Close $4m Round on $20m Pre with $1.4m in ARR

So, a huge amount of the investment will actually go into taking the product into new directions, you know, basically improving what we have right now.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1371 Gmail Helpdesk About to Close $4m Round on $20m Pre with $1.4m in ARR

And the rest, of course, will go into marketing, right?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1371 Gmail Helpdesk About to Close $4m Round on $20m Pre with $1.4m in ARR

I mean, we'll play a lot more with paid marketing.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1371 Gmail Helpdesk About to Close $4m Round on $20m Pre with $1.4m in ARR

We'll go much more aggressive on that, yeah.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1371 Gmail Helpdesk About to Close $4m Round on $20m Pre with $1.4m in ARR

So our current lifetime value right now is $5,400 approximately.

So, you know, it's basically what ChartMogul tells us based on our current trend and expansion.
