Gruntify is a field workforce automation platform founded in 2016 in Australia by Igor Stjepanovic, who serves as CEO. The company helps organizations manage and automate field operations by delivering real-time task routing and data collection through cloud and mobile applications, with a particular focus on geospatial workflows.

As of early 2022, Gruntify reported an annualized revenue run rate of approximately $3 million, up from roughly $1.5 million a year prior, representing 100 percent year-over-year growth. The company serves approximately 55 clients, including the City of San Jose, CoreLogic, and Modus, and has grown entirely through word-of-mouth referrals without a dedicated sales team or paid marketing spend.

Gruntify is 100 percent bootstrapped and wholly owned by Stjepanovic, who spun the product out of his earlier professional services firm, GIS People. The company was targeting a fundraise of $5 million to $10 million in 2022, with Stjepanovic indicating a willingness to sell 20 to 25 percent equity at an implied pre-money valuation of approximately $20 million.

The host noted that 55 customers at an average of $6,000 per month would imply roughly $330,000 in monthly revenue, but Stjepanovic clarified the actual figure was closer to $250,000 per month. Growth has been driven entirely by word-of-mouth referrals, with no dedicated sales team and no paid marketing investment at the time of the interview. Stjepanovic identified expansion into Europe and Singapore as the primary near-term revenue growth opportunities.

Founder / CEO

Igor Stjepanovic

CEO

Igor Stjepanovic is the founder and CEO of Gruntify. He is 46 years old as of early 2022, is married with four children, and is based in Australia. He describes himself as a lone wolf, having built Gruntify without co-founders.

Sjepanovic comes from a technical background as a geospatial computer programmer. Before Gruntify, he founded GIS People, a professional services firm serving oil and gas and mining clients that was generating $3 million to $4 million in annual revenue at the time Gruntify was spun out in 2016. GIS People provided the initial funding and team for Gruntify's development. Stjepanovic retains 100 percent ownership of Gruntify.

A GetLatka net worth estimate is not possible from the available data. The implied pre-money valuation discussed in the interview was approximately $20 million, and Stjepanovic owns 100 percent of the business, which would imply a paper value of approximately $20 million at that valuation. However, this valuation was host-derived and not independently confirmed, and no transaction has occurred. Net worth was not discussed in the interview beyond this context.

Customers

Gruntify had approximately 55 paying clients as of early 2022. Named customers include the City of San Jose, which uses the platform for emergency response to fires and housing-related use cases; CoreLogic, a property data company; and Modus, a company rolling out 5G hardware across the United States.

The company's business plan is priced at $49 per person per month. For larger clients, an enterprise plan is priced on application. Stjepanovic described the typical sweet spot as $5,000 to $7,000 per month, which corresponds to approximately 500 to 600 seats. Volume discounts apply, with per-seat pricing declining as seat counts increase. The company also noted a client expansion example in which a customer grew from 100 licenses to more than 1,000 licenses over time. Stjepanovic indicated the company was shifting focus toward small and medium-sized clients as a growth priority.

Gruntify serves 50 customers.

Gruntify Business Model

Gruntify operates a seat-based SaaS model with tiered pricing. The entry-level professional plan covers inspections, the business plan at $49 per seat per month supports advanced field workflows, and an enterprise plan is priced on application for the largest clients. The typical monthly contract value falls between $5,000 and $7,000, representing approximately 500 to 600 seats, with volume discounts applied at higher seat counts.

Sjepanovic reported zero gross churn as of early 2022, stating that once a client is won, they do not leave. He also described meaningful net expansion, with clients frequently adding projects and teams over time. One cited example involved a client growing from 100 licenses to more than 1,000 licenses. The company has no dedicated sales team and no paid marketing spend, with all growth attributed to word-of-mouth referrals at the time of the interview.

Profitability was not explicitly discussed in the interview. The company has been fully bootstrapped since inception, reinvesting revenue from operations, which implies it has not been operating at a significant loss, but no margin, burn rate, or profitability figures were stated. Gross margin, CAC, LTV, and payback period were not discussed.

Point-in-time figures shared on the GetLatka podcast, each linked to the exact moment it was said on camera.

Igor Stjepanovic: We target the predominantly larger clients, so we have about fifty, sixty clients, so not that many, but we are currently focusing on the small to medium sized clients and that's where we see a lot of growth and a lot of interest lately.”
