Obviously, people look at the space and look at SurveyMonkey and Qualtrics and so on, and they say, look, you're a much smaller player in this larger market.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
QuestionPro Hits $20m Revenue, $5m Cash In Bank, Selling 60% Of Company For $50m Next?

We just, it is probably true, frankly.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
QuestionPro Hits $20m Revenue, $5m Cash In Bank, Selling 60% Of Company For $50m Next?

And so we want to kind of, you know, figure out a way to kind of get our profile up.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

If we were, if we were a little bit more visible, then I think we could have control a better premium, but obviously not.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
QuestionPro Hits $20m Revenue, $5m Cash In Bank, Selling 60% Of Company For $50m Next?

No, that would be a tough one for me to swallow because we like our current mechanism where we keep most of the money and we use the money for acquisitions.

If we can start having debt, then I'll start making debt payments and all that stuff.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
QuestionPro Hits $20m Revenue, $5m Cash In Bank, Selling 60% Of Company For $50m Next?

Granted, I have some cash sitting on the other side.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
QuestionPro Hits $20m Revenue, $5m Cash In Bank, Selling 60% Of Company For $50m Next?

But I would probably not go down that route.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
QuestionPro Hits $20m Revenue, $5m Cash In Bank, Selling 60% Of Company For $50m Next?

Uh, good point, actually, to be honest with you, I've not thought about it that way.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
QuestionPro Hits $20m Revenue, $5m Cash In Bank, Selling 60% Of Company For $50m Next?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
QuestionPro Hits $20m Revenue, $5m Cash In Bank, Selling 60% Of Company For $50m Next?

I mean, the debt deals get slightly more complicated so far.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
QuestionPro Hits $20m Revenue, $5m Cash In Bank, Selling 60% Of Company For $50m Next?

We've not, I mean, frankly, even on the peace side, we've not really like dug ourselves into it because we are, you know, we have money, we are making money and we are kind of focused on kind of trying to grow it.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
QuestionPro Hits $20m Revenue, $5m Cash In Bank, Selling 60% Of Company For $50m Next?

You know, there's a lot of time that we spend on just trying to grow it at, you know, 30% itself that itself is a, you know, a reasonable amount of work that we are, we are working on.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
QuestionPro Hits $20m Revenue, $5m Cash In Bank, Selling 60% Of Company For $50m Next?

Uh, and that's, uh, that is, that is, that is a, that's a fight and a battle that we are, we are fighting already.

So going back to your point, I mean, you do have a point that on the debt side, to be honest with you, on the financing side, we have not thought about it that deeply or that creatively, frankly.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
QuestionPro Hits $20m Revenue, $5m Cash In Bank, Selling 60% Of Company For $50m Next?

And so, I mean, you raise good points, but that's something that probably I should consider, which I haven't considered realistically.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

It's pain.
