Andrew Butt: Bootstrapping from profits is too slow to build globally
“I think in the UK the approach was you've got to grow out of profits, which always means growth is very slow, because if you make 10 dollars, you can spend nine dollars on the products, and then eventually you might make 20 dollars, and then you can spend, you…”
Supply chain companies managed their entire profit margins in spreadsheets
“There was no software that could do that.
And all these companies were using spreadsheets to manage what was becoming all of their profit.”

Enable reached $2.5M ARR with just 20 customers by late 2019
“We got to 20 something customers and 2.5 million of ARR or something on the product. So that took us probably three or four years to do that. So by say the end of [2019] that's where we'd got to.”
Enable routinely identifies millions in missing rebates for single enterprise customers
“Some of our early customers and ongoing as well. We certainly have found multi-millions in a single customer and it's not always that much. It might be a few 100,000, but it does run into the millions as well.”

Enable's Series B, Series C, and Series D were all preempted
“The Series A was the most difficult of all of the rounds, so we were very fortunate that the B, C, and D were kind of all preempted, so really investors came to us, and it was, whereas the Series A was really me, a couple of my team knocking on doors”
