INVESTMENT THESIS
Keith built and sold a company for $50M. He has done this before — at scale.
This is not a pre-revenue company. $39K ARR with 2 paying customers and growing.
Network (services), ConversationOS (SaaS), Licensing (IP). Diversified revenue at the seed stage is rare.
Conservative model: $3.1M revenue, $4.2M expenses over 24 months. Cash-flow positive at Month 18. Team grows from 7 to 17 people.
At $4.2M ARR with $1.46M in the bank and three revenue engines firing, the Series A targets $42–50M valuation (10–12x ARR) — a 3–4x step-up from seed.
We're raising $2.5M to scale three proven revenue engines. If this resonates, we'd love to talk.
