And I separate up some expansion.

So upsell would be a new product line.

And then horizontal expansion is more like, hey, you have other properties or the countries that we're going to expand to with the same product.

From $0 to $17,000,000 In 2015 With NYC Based SaaS Company, EP 253: Ryan Urban

Most of our stuff comes inbound.

And you notice we don't have a blog.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
From $0 to $17,000,000 In 2015 With NYC Based SaaS Company, EP 253: Ryan Urban

I think we shut down almost all of our social media.

From $0 to $17,000,000 In 2015 With NYC Based SaaS Company, EP 253: Ryan Urban

We haven't spent a dollar in our life on paid.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
From $0 to $17,000,000 In 2015 With NYC Based SaaS Company, EP 253: Ryan Urban

Actually, for our brand term, I think we put like $500 into it because someone else was bidding on it.

From $0 to $17,000,000 In 2015 With NYC Based SaaS Company, EP 253: Ryan Urban

But we haven't like not like real AdWords spend.

From $0 to $17,000,000 In 2015 With NYC Based SaaS Company, EP 253: Ryan Urban

But LTV is... The way the math works in that number, I just don't like the...

From $0 to $17,000,000 In 2015 With NYC Based SaaS Company, EP 253: Ryan Urban

The formulaic definition of it, I think, is really stupid.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
From $0 to $17,000,000 In 2015 With NYC Based SaaS Company, EP 253: Ryan Urban

No, I like to look at the CPA more than CAC to LTV.

Okay, what's your CPA?
