“So Contently didn't start as a SaaS platform. It started as a marketplace, kind of a newfangled talent agency to help, you know, laid off journalists from the New York Times connect with clients.”
“we actually had a point where we were gonna have the software portion be free and be subsidized by the marketplace. And we got in this big argument, and the argument was solved by my partners and I deciding to do a test to start selling some features of the project management tool for a monthly fee of $1,000 and when we sold 13 in the first month, we said okay, this is the business and here we are.”
“The company's about eight years old. We've raised $20,000,000 in total, which is about a quarter of any of our competitors, which is great for us because we're you know similar size and have an outsized presence in our own content marketing. Staff is about 100 people”
