JustCall, the cloud phone system for sales and support teams built by SaaS Labs Inc., reached $240,000 in monthly recurring revenue by September 2019, up from $80,000 a month a year prior. The company serves 1,600 paying business customers at an average of $150 per month and has remained fully bootstrapped since its founding in 2016, with no outside equity raised.
Gaurav Sharma, a four-time entrepreneur with two prior exits including a sale to the New York Times, launched JustCall's first line of code in September 2016 and acquired the first paying customer in March 2017. The business reached a 60 percent EBITDA margin by the time of the interview, generating roughly $150,000 in monthly free cash flow on $20,000 in monthly cash burn.
Growth has been driven entirely by inbound demand, product integrations, and organic seat expansion, with zero dollars spent on paid advertising through mid-2019. The company converts approximately 60 percent of its roughly 200 monthly demos into paying customers, adding about 150 new accounts per month, and reports 106 percent net dollar retention with 3 percent monthly revenue churn and 5 percent monthly logo churn.

JustCall Revenue
JustCall generated $240,000 in monthly recurring revenue as of September 2019, equivalent to roughly $2.88 million in annualized recurring revenue. A year earlier, monthly revenue stood at $80,000, representing a three-times increase over twelve months.

Sharma confirmed that 1,600 paying business customers each pay an average of $150 per month, producing the $240,000 MRR figure. New customer additions of approximately 150 per month contribute an estimated $10,000 in net new MRR each month, with the remainder of growth coming from seat expansion and plan upgrades as customers move from the $25 per user per month standard tier to the $50 per user per month premium tier. Sharma noted that customers frequently start with a small team and expand organically, bringing in support teams first and then sales teams.
A forward revenue estimate based on the trailing growth rate is not straightforward to annualize precisely, but applying the observed roughly 200 percent year-over-year growth rate as a ceiling and a conservatively decelerated rate as a floor, GetLatka estimates JustCall's annualized revenue run rate could reach between $3.5 million and $5.5 million by late 2020. This is a GetLatka estimate based on the September 2019 run rate of $2.88 million annualized and the trailing twelve-month growth rate; actual results were not confirmed by Sharma.
Founder / CEO
Gaurav Sharma
CEO
Gaurav Sharma is the founder and CEO of SaaS Labs Inc. and was 31 years old at the time of the September 2019 interview. He holds a chemical engineering degree but describes himself as a developer by practice. Sharma has founded four companies and completed two exits.
His most recent prior exit was HelloSociety, an influencer marketing company he described as one of the largest players in that category, which he sold to the New York Times in 2015 while operating it from Santa Monica. He characterized the exit as a good outcome, though not life-changing wealth.
Sharma wrote the first line of JustCall code in September 2016, launched the product on Product Hunt on December 6, 2016, and acquired the first paying customer in March 2017.

JustCall Business Model
JustCall operates a per-user, per-month SaaS subscription model priced at $25 on the standard plan and $50 on the premium plan. Average revenue per account is $150 per month, implying a typical account has roughly five to ten users, which Sharma described as the sweet spot. On the standard plan, accounts with more than 15 seats receive a 10 percent volume discount.
The company does not offer free trials. Instead, new customers receive a 70 percent discount in their first month, a structure Sharma said was designed to avoid losing money while remaining bootstrapped. The demo-to-paid conversion rate is approximately 60 percent across roughly 200 monthly demos, yielding about 150 new paying customers per month.
JustCall reported a 60 percent EBITDA margin as of September 2019, with monthly cash burn on salaries and rent of $20,000 against $240,000 in monthly revenue, leaving roughly $150,000 in monthly free cash flow. Net dollar retention stood at 106 percent, supported by 3 percent monthly revenue churn and 5 percent monthly logo churn. Customer acquisition cost was $5,200 per customer, implying a payback period of roughly 35 months at $150 average monthly revenue per account. The company had raised $25,000 in debt from Stripe and was in discussions with Clearbanc for an additional $50,000 at an effective annual cost of capital of approximately 12 percent. Sharma confirmed the company is profitable and has no plans to raise equity for at least one year. The company distributes 20 to 30 percent of annual profits to employees through a profit-sharing pool weighted by tenure, performance, and cross-functional contribution.
