How FlexPrint CEO Frank Gaspari grew to $10.5M revenue with a 119 person team in 2024.

Qobra

Qobra is an AI-first sales compensation platform founded in 2020 by Antoine Fort (CEO), Axel (CTO), and Tongue (CPO). The company automates end-to-end commissions, replacing spreadsheet-based workflows for sales organizations. Fort co-founded the business almost immediately after graduating, drawing on relationships with senior sales leaders to understand the problem rather than personal experience as a commission-earner. Qobra has grown from a 100K pre-seed round and its first customer in 2020 to approximately 8M in ARR as of May 2026, serving more than 250 customers at an average ACV of roughly 30,000 per year. The company broke 1M ARR in 2022, reached between 4M and 5M ARR twelve months prior to the interview, and is targeting 10M ARR by end of 2026. Total funding raised stands at 5.7M across a 111K pre-seed in 2020 and a 5.5M seed in 2022, supplemented by a 10M Series A in late 2023 and 2M in debt financing. Investors include Singular and Brieger. The team has grown to 49 people. The single most interesting strategic inflection point is Qobra's bet that AI agents will allow it to capture dollars currently flowing to implementation consultants and external firms. The company is launching three agents, called the Analyst, the Architect, and the Coach, in June 2026, with the Architect able to build and deploy compensation plans in minutes instead of weeks. Fort frames this as turning a 6-dollar services market into software revenue, citing Sequoia's thesis that for every dollar spent on software, six dollars are spent on services.

Paligo

Paligo, headquartered in Sweden and founded in 2020, is a Component Content Management System (CCMS) that enables enterprise technical writers to create, reuse, and publish structured documentation across 30-plus integration points, including Zendesk and Intercom. The company is led by CEO Rahul Yadav, who joined in December 2025 after serving as CTO at Milestone Systems (Canon Group) and Chief Technology and Digital Officer at TV2 Denmark. The original co-founders, Anas and Frank, remain involved as a board member and an engineering architect, respectively. Ownership is split roughly equally among the founder group, Stockholm-based B2B SaaS private equity firm Alvin and Rickson, and Grow Capital from Copenhagen, which led a $29M Series A in April 2023. Paligo grew from $2.2M in revenue in 2020 to $11.3M in 2024, then added another 11% to reach $12.5M in 2025. The company serves approximately 500 enterprise customers across 38 countries, with deal sizes ranging from $25K to $150K per year. As of the latest data, Paligo has 90 employees and a valuation of $37.5M. Yadav is targeting 18 to 20% ARR growth in 2026, with significantly higher ambitions for 2027 and beyond. The single most important strategic inflection point is Paligo's pivot from a structured authoring tool to what Yadav calls an AI-native structured truth platform. The company has accumulated more than 3 billion governed, semantically rich words and approximately 1.5 million reusable content components in DocBook XML, which Yadav argues is the largest such dataset in regulated industries like medtech and manufacturing. Rather than bolting AI features onto its existing product, Paligo is building end-to-end ingestion-to-consumption infrastructure designed to ground enterprise AI agents in verified structured content, a category Yadav says no competitor has yet defined.
