Typically, what happens in this, this is why we saw the opportunity.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

In this particular area, you saw a lot of very, very short transactions, 6, 8, 12 months.

And we saw an opportunity to give somebody something that was very affordable.

And so we didn't want to go below 24 months, and we were able to get those out as long as 48 months.

even back in the day, by taking the AI information and doing a better job of telling the story and therefore giving them something that was affordable.

And now most of those customers have come back to renew with us or come back to take another loan with us.

We now have about 30% of the base is in a renewal status with us because we made it affordable.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
LendingPoint Hits $600m ARR, Will Profit $120m on AI platform for consumer loans

That's roughly about 23 over that period of time.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

Interesting.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
