“Our average is about $250 a month. And it's not really a pure play SaaS because there's an expectation that you'll pass and you'll finish and you'll pass. If we do our job should stop paying, right? Unlike most of the people you interview, we're actually thrilled when people leave us.”
“I have 149 firms. So 150, let's say, today.”
“It's 150 firms times, in that case, it's 100 times 2,400. So it's probably closer to 700,000 a year in that, but that's only about 15% of our business. Our ARR is 4,300,000 right now.”
