COR is a San Francisco-based vertical SaaS platform built for professional services firms, including marketing agencies, consulting firms, law firms, and accounting firms, that sell billable hours. The company's software uses machine learning to automate time tracking and deliver real-time project profitability intelligence, replacing the horizontal project management tools that most of its customers previously used.

Founded in 2018 by Argentinian co-founders Santi Bibiloni, Jose, and a third partner after completing the 500 Startups accelerator program, COR grew from a $10,000 MVP to a $40 million valuation in roughly three years. The company closed a $6 million Series A in two tranches, first $2 million at a $20 million valuation in 2020 and then $4 million at a $40 million valuation in 2021, with investors including SCOP Venture Capital and Marcos Galperin, founder of MercadoLibre.

As of mid-2021, COR reported approximately $400,000 in ARR for 2020, growing at roughly 170 percent year over year and 9.8 percent month over month, with 115 customers, a 4 percent gross churn rate, and 114 percent net dollar retention. The company employs 66 people, including 30 engineers, and plans to allocate 70 percent of its Series A capital to growth and 30 percent to product.

COR reported approximately $400,000 in annual recurring revenue for 2020, a figure Bibiloni cited during the interview with a slight hedge, noting it could have been $400,000 to $500,000.

Founder / CEO

Santi Bibiloni

CEO

Santi Bibiloni, age 31 at the time of the interview, is co-founder and CEO of COR. He is Argentinian and relocated to San Francisco to launch the company after completing the 500 Startups program. Bibiloni and his co-founders, including Jose, who serves as co-founder and CFO and COO, have worked together for approximately 10 years. A third co-founder is also part of the founding team.

Before COR, Bibiloni founded Balloon Group, described as one of America's fastest-growing digital agencies. The co-founders exited that prior company roughly five years before the 2021 interview. Bibiloni told Latka that the founding team felt the project profitability problem firsthand while running that agency, which directly motivated COR's product thesis. Bibiloni also serves as a sales and fundraising mentor at 500 Startups.

The three co-founders did not split equity equally. Bibiloni explained that equity was allocated based on each founder's willingness to take on risk at the outset. Two of the three co-founders, Bibiloni and Jose, contributed personal capital to build the initial MVP, spending approximately $10,000 of their own money to get the product to a launchable state. That MVP attracted three to four initial customers and served as the basis for the company's acceptance into 500 Startups. Net worth was not discussed in the interview.

Customers

COR served 115 customers as of mid-2021. Pricing is set at $30 per user per month for access to the full platform. The average contract value across the customer base was $19,000 per year, though Bibiloni noted the range is wide: some enterprise customers pay over $100,000 per year, while smaller SMB customers pay as little as $5,000 per year.

Approximately 80 percent of COR's current customers switched to the platform from horizontal project management tools such as Asana, Trello, Monday, ClickUp, and Jira. Bibiloni described this migration pattern as analogous to what Procore achieved in the construction vertical, where companies outgrow general-purpose tools and move to a purpose-built vertical solution. Expansion within accounts is driven primarily by seat additions rather than feature-based or usage-based upsells.

COR serves 115 customers.

COR Business Model

COR operates a subscription SaaS model priced at $30 per user per month, targeting professional services firms that bill clients by the hour. The company pursues both enterprise and SMB segments through distinct sales motions: outbound sales via SDRs and account executives for enterprise customers, and organic inbound search and content marketing for SMBs.

Gross churn over the trailing twelve months was 4 percent as of mid-2021. Net dollar retention was 114 percent over the same period, meaning the existing customer base expanded by a net 14 percent after accounting for churn. Bibiloni confirmed that expansion is driven almost entirely by customers adding more seats. The company's account executive compensation structure targets a quota-to-OTE ratio of 3.5 times to 4 times, with OTE split evenly between base salary and commission. New AE annual quota targets range from $600,000 to $700,000.

Post-Series A capital allocation is 70 percent toward growth, covering lead generation, marketing, presales, sales, and post-sales, and 30 percent toward product, with a focus on product-led growth features that also serve as sales enablement tools. Profitability was not discussed in the interview. Gross margin, burn rate, runway, CAC, and LTV were not disclosed.
