NextView Backed Hit Firm Attentive via an Uncapped Convertible Note
“One of our biggest hits is attentive. And we invested in an uncapped note and that changed my mind because we never would have done it before.”
Kenny: Community Charges SMS by Subscriber Count Instead of Texts Sent
“Community, which is basically a SMS platform. That's a little bit more approachable than using like an attentive or a Klaviyo for texting, which can get out of hand pricing wise. It's a little bit they group it based on how many subscribers you have rather tha…”
Pujji: Most nine-figure e-commerce tech businesses do not rely on Shopify
“The biggest thing that, you know, industry or market wise was, dude, there's a bunch of nine figure e-com tech businesses. None of which, like with the exception of Klaviyo and maybe Attentive have anything to do with Shopify.”
Mellstrom: Marketing tools like Klaviyo left a huge purchasing gap
“But we felt like, you know, those companies weren't taking marketing far enough, and there was still a huge gap between, you know, re receiving a message from a brand and actually making a purchase.”

Attentive's first convertible notes had a $1M to $2M valuation cap
“It was pretty straightforward because of the convertible notes. It has the, it had a cap of about a million. It was between a 1,000,002 million.”
Attentive raised its first venture round with zero clients and zero revenue
“In the really initial phases, when they got investment, we didn't have a single client. We just had the API that was working. We had a few conversations with potential partners and a few customers at the time but there was no revenue at all.”
Attentive targets $5K to $10K MRR before raising its next round
“We, I think for next round, what we're going to be focused on is have an MRR of about five to five to 10 K.”
