Interview Notes

Company snapshot

  • Celigo turned a consulting-funded reboot into a fast-scaling automation suite.
  • “Real” product launch: March 2016 (post-pivot).
  • Current ARR (May 2024): ≈ $92 million; FY-end 2024 goal: $100 million.
  • Total funding: $72 million equity + $1.5 million early debt (repaid).
  • Capital efficiency: ≈ $1 of ARR for every $0.78 of equity (1.3×).
  • Bootstrapped phase: 2011-15, funded by consulting revenue.

Growth trajectory

  • Revenue expanded methodically as the platform widened.
  • 2015: ≈ $4 M ARR on a legacy product, pre-pivot.
  • 2017: ≈ $10 M as the new platform gained traction.
  • 2018: ≈ $16 M after broadening use-cases.
  • 2024: ≈ $92 M with a horizontal automation suite—aiming for $100 M by December.

Funding rounds & discipline

  • Celigo optimized for fit over vanity multiples.
  • Series A (Dec 2015): ≈ $15 M, ~4.8× ARR multiple, raised pre-product at ≈ $30 M post-money.
  • Series A extension (2017): $4 M bridge at the same valuation while shipping features.
  • Series B (2020): amount undisclosed, ~6.3× ARR multiple—chosen for partner/board fit over richer bids.
  • Series C (2021): $48 M primary; single-dip 1× pref, minimal ($7.9 M) secondary and debt cleanup.
  • Cumulative primary equity: $72 M—valuations kept “above water” for employee options.

Product expansion

  • The platform now spans far beyond classic iPaaS connectors.
  • Core iPaaS: app-to-app and process automation.
  • API Management: build & govern first-party APIs with security/compliance baked in.
  • EDI Gateway: modern interface for supply-chain document flows.
  • Data-warehouse ingest (launching): one-click ELT from SaaS apps into Snowflake, Redshift, etc.
  • Positioning: “automation platform of the enterprise.”

Culture & cap-table philosophy

  • Governance choices keep incentives tight and long-term.
  • Preferred ≈ common: Series C simplified prefs to a flat 1× liquidation, aligning all stakeholders.
  • Minimal secondary: early team remains “all-in”; option pool solidly in-the-money.
  • Board-fit first: founder Jan vetted 25+ firms to find partners with a 5-10-year build-for-value horizon.

Quick-grab numbers

  • 2011-15 consulting → product pivot.
  • $4 M → $92 M ARR in 9 years.
  • $72 M equity / $1.5 M debt total funding.
  • ≈ 1.3× ARR per $ raised.
  • Targeting $100 M ARR by Q4-2024.
  • Adjacent products live / shipping: API, EDI, ELT pipelines.
