Gong Competitor: "We'll Raise at a $120m Valuation" after breaking $6m in ARR

um yeah so it's it's it's easier to spend money now that you kind of know that and what to expect from increased marketing spend uh in terms of traffic on the website and conversion rates and and uh skulls and pipeline group you know and cindy you definitely want to raise in other words of outreach or gong or sales off or henry shaka zuminfo came and just said listen instead of going and raising 120 million dollar valuation here's 100 million dollars all cash up front right now to sell to us would you exit

Gong Competitor: "We'll Raise at a $120m Valuation" after breaking $6m in ARR

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Gong Competitor: "We'll Raise at a $120m Valuation" after breaking $6m in ARR

I think that we are very much on the track to building out the new category like outreach, like chorus, like going in the sales tech stack, which is just

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Gong Competitor: "We'll Raise at a $120m Valuation" after breaking $6m in ARR

Yeah, it makes perfect sense, to be honest, especially given the tailwind from COVID and the fact that people are being trusted into a hybrid or even fully remote setting and getting them engaged and motivated in their day-to-day work is becoming an important type of discussion.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Gong Competitor: "We'll Raise at a $120m Valuation" after breaking $6m in ARR

And we see that from our organic inbounds as well.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Gong Competitor: "We'll Raise at a $120m Valuation" after breaking $6m in ARR

So it's not the right time to exit for us, to be perfectly honest.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Gong Competitor: "We'll Raise at a $120m Valuation" after breaking $6m in ARR

But if there's a ridiculous amount of money on the table, then I'm never going to say never.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Gong Competitor: "We'll Raise at a $120m Valuation" after breaking $6m in ARR

I'm pragmatic like that.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Gong Competitor: "We'll Raise at a $120m Valuation" after breaking $6m in ARR

Yeah.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Gong Competitor: "We'll Raise at a $120m Valuation" after breaking $6m in ARR

120%.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Gong Competitor: "We'll Raise at a $120m Valuation" after breaking $6m in ARR

It's growing, actually.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Gong Competitor: "We'll Raise at a $120m Valuation" after breaking $6m in ARR

It's grown over the last eight consecutive quarters.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Gong Competitor: "We'll Raise at a $120m Valuation" after breaking $6m in ARR

Much worse.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Gong Competitor: "We'll Raise at a $120m Valuation" after breaking $6m in ARR

So I don't have the exact numbers.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Gong Competitor: "We'll Raise at a $120m Valuation" after breaking $6m in ARR

What do you mean by worse?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Gong Competitor: "We'll Raise at a $120m Valuation" after breaking $6m in ARR

If we look at the last three quarters, I think it's 120, 117, 107, 105.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Gong Competitor: "We'll Raise at a $120m Valuation" after breaking $6m in ARR

So it's a trajectory that I hope continues.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Gong Competitor: "We'll Raise at a $120m Valuation" after breaking $6m in ARR

Probably not because it's already pretty strong.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Gong Competitor: "We'll Raise at a $120m Valuation" after breaking $6m in ARR

Yeah, so it's mostly expansion bigger than contraction right now.
