I think the technology is what we've built and the infrastructure, how we built the technology to acquire dates and understand the company dates and building predictions around it.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
EP 580: Self Funded Vainu SaaS Hits $400K MRR, 1000 Customers To Serve Up Business Data with CEO Pietari Suvanto

EP 580: Self Funded Vainu SaaS Hits $400K MRR, 1000 Customers To Serve Up Business Data with CEO Pietari Suvanto
