We just crossed $200M in ARR, roughly 2x in eight months. The milestone isn't the story. It’s how little capital it took us to get there. Every dollar of equity we've raised has turned into about $2.70 of recognized ARR. That’s more capital efficient than Zoom or Datadog were at their IPOs. And we did it with 136 people, at about $1.5M in ARR per employee. None of this is about cost-cutting. It's how we think the best companies will be built from here: small teams of people who are AI-native, own their stack, and ship fast. But efficiency is downstream of an early choice we made. We stayed constrained on purpose. Instead of chasing cinematic or ad-generation AI, we focused on one thing: helping people deliver their message at scale and extend what they already do, not replace it. Real estate agents, course creators, and small business owners. That focus is why the numbers work. The $200M is the occasion. How we got here is the point.
