Casebook PBC Revenue, Valuation & Funding (2024)

Casebook PBC generated $11.6M in revenue in 2024.

Casebook PBC is a government technology software company founded in 2019 and headquartered in the United States. The company builds a cloud-based case management platform for human services organizations, serving both government agencies and nonprofits operating in areas such as child welfare, juvenile justice, domestic violence response, and anti-recidivism programs.

The company was built on an unconventional foundation: rather than raising venture capital, Casebook PBC took over a $7 million contract from the Annie E. Casey Foundation, one of the largest child welfare foundations in the country, and used the cash flow from that contract to fund product development. By September 2021, the company had grown to approximately 200 customers paying an average of $1,000 per month, producing an annualized revenue run rate of roughly $2.4 million, up from a December 2020 MRR of $11,000.

CEO Tristan Louis, a serial entrepreneur who previously built and exited five technology companies and served as global chief innovation officer at HSBC, was preparing to raise a $6 to $8 million equity round at a post-money valuation of $16 to $20 million as of the interview date. The company had not churned a single paying customer due to inability to use the product since its founding, and reported net revenue retention of well over 100 percent.

Casebook PBC Revenue

Casebook PBC generated $11.6M in revenue in 2024.

Casebook PBC reported a monthly revenue run rate of approximately $200,000 as of September 2021, implying an annualized run rate of roughly $2.4 million. That figure was confirmed by Louis during the interview: with 200 customers each paying an average of $1,000 per month, the math produces $200,000 in monthly recurring revenue.

One year earlier, in December 2020, the company's MRR stood at $11,000, and Louis stated that ARR for the prior year was approximately $50,000. The host noted that the company's annualized run rate in December 2020 was $132,000, which Louis did not dispute. Louis described the year-on-year gross revenue growth as roughly 50x to 60x, calling it a pretty incredible year.

Growth was attributed to identifying the right product-market fit, targeting the right markets, and pricing the product deliberately low to make it difficult for competitors to undercut. Louis said there is always room to grow ARPUs from a low point, but very few opportunities to lower ARPUs once established in a market. Profitability was not achieved as of the interview date, as the company was still investing heavily in research and development.

Founder / CEO

Tristan Louis

CEO

Tristan Louis serves as president and CEO of Casebook PBC. He told Latka he had built and taken five technology companies from idea to exit prior to founding Casebook. He also served as global chief innovation officer at HSBC from 2001 to 2008, a period during which he said the bank did not even own the domain hsbc.com when he joined and he built out its internet infrastructure over seven years. He subsequently served as global head of mobile and internet for Deutsche Bank.

Louis described the origin of Casebook as a post-2016 decision to apply technology to problems with positive social impact. He was connected to the Annie E. Casey Foundation, which held a largely unprofitable system integration contract for managing child welfare data across one state. Louis took over that contract, right-sized it operationally, and used the resulting profit to fund development of a SaaS platform. The company was formally founded in 2019. Louis turned 50 in 2021. He confirmed he is the sole owner of the business. Net worth was not discussed in the interview; any estimate would require applying his 100 percent ownership stake to the implied pre-money valuation of approximately $14 million, which would suggest a paper value in that range, but this is a GetLatka estimate based solely on the stated ownership percentage and the pre-money valuation Louis described for the upcoming round, and has not been confirmed.

Customers

Casebook PBC had approximately 200 customers as of September 2021, described by Louis as low hundreds in terms of logos. The average customer pays roughly $1,000 per month, derived from an average of 15 to 20 seats per customer at an average price per seat of approximately $50 per month.

The platform is offered in three pricing tiers: $29, $49, and $69 per seat per month, depending on features. Louis stated the average seat price is about $49 to $50. Minimum contract length is 24 months. Louis noted that the two-year minimum contract structure reduces churn risk on a month-by-month basis. Since founding, only one customer had churned, and that was because the organization ran out of money and could no longer pay, not because of product dissatisfaction. Louis also noted that contrary to initial assumptions, some existing customers were already asking to add seats on top of their current contracts before renewal.

Casebook PBC serves 200 customers.

Casebook PBC Business Model

Casebook PBC operates a per-seat SaaS subscription model with three pricing tiers at $29, $49, and $69 per seat per month. The average revenue per user is approximately $50 per month, and the average customer account holds 15 to 20 seats, producing an average contract value of roughly $1,000 per month. All contracts carry a minimum term of 24 months.

Net revenue retention was described by Louis as well over 100 percent, driven by seat expansion within existing accounts. The company reported a net burn of $100,000 to $120,000 per month in high-spend months as of September 2021. However, total monthly expenses including contract-funded research and development were $600,000 to $700,000 per month, with the difference between that figure and the $200,000 in SaaS revenue being covered by cash flow from the Annie E. Casey Foundation contract. Louis confirmed the company was not profitable as of the interview date, attributing the burn to heavy R&D investment in what he described as a $12 billion to $24 billion greenfield market opportunity. The company had one customer churn since founding, for non-product reasons, making logo churn effectively zero across its operating history.

“Tristan Louis: Our revenue retention is well over 100%. We actually, I don't like to talk about churn that much because our churn numbers are ridiculously low in that we've had one customer churn out, and that was because the organization we were dealing with actually ran out of money.”

“Tristan Louis: Our burn rate is in the very, very low six figures. On a high spent month, I'll probably be breaking 100,000 to $120,000. But usually we tend to sit below that.”

Louis described the team composition as six people in sales, approximately 20 or more in engineering and product management, and the remainder in customer success and sales support.

The host observed that at $600,000 to $700,000 in total monthly expenses across 36 people, the company was burning close to $20,000 per employee per month, which Louis acknowledged was a fair amount for a startup at that stage.

Casebook PBC employs approximately 38 people as of 2026, including 14 sales reps that carry a quota. It serves 200 customers that rely on its solutions.
