In discussing the prop-tech acquisition, Miller noted that competing property management app companies in Chicago had raised between $20 million and $80 million in outside capital, according to Miller's characterization. These are not company-confirmed figures for those competitors. Despite that capital advantage, the bootstrapped founder Miller backed held the number one market share in Chicago at the time of the mid-2021 acquisition, according to Miller.
In the Awareness Technologies context, Miller did not name specific software competitors. He referenced Silicon Valley Bank as a lender that declined to work with profitable, non-VC-backed companies, contrasting its model with traditional bank lenders such as Webster Bank.
