So if we were in the normal space, I think to get to a good valuation, we would need to be in the four to eight million ARR, maybe five to eight to get the evaluation that makes sense.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

AI Company Ople $15m Raised, Just $500k Revenue, Overvalued?

So this year, I think it's going to be around one.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
