Everything Vidya Santhanam said on any show that made the record, most notable first. Each card names its show and opens the statement there.
Santhanam on why enterprise software requires hands-on coaching alongside the product
“The learning that we had Nathan was that not every problem in the world can be solved only with software. So you need some amount of handholding for teams as well, so that they do it correctly.”
Fitbots generated 55 trials and 15 high-quality demos in a single month
“We had about 40 around 55 trials and about 15 high-quality demos which came in.”
Fitbots is currently seeking a lead investor to raise $2M to $3M
“So we're looking to raise about two to three million at the moment.”
Fitbots averages a $6,000 annual contract value, or $500 monthly
“The annual contract value is about 6000 ACVs. So it's about 500 dollars.”
Founders ran 1,000 meetings as OKR coaches while building Fitbots product
“So we got certified as OKR coaches, coached about six, 50 plus teams, ran about a thousand plus check-in meetings and built the product as we were close to users.”
Fitbots ended the previous calendar year at $14k in monthly recurring revenue
“We closed the year last year, we closed the year at 14 K, so we're probably doing a little less than that.”
Fitbots bootstrapped for two years to learn capital efficiency before raising pre-seed
“Yeah, we were bootstrapped for about two years, Nathan, the first two years, and then so we really learned how to use capital efficiently, and we raised our pre-seed round in 2020.”
Fitbots skipped Google Ads for content-led lead generation due to budget constraints
“We actually didn't do Google ads at all. We didn't have the money at that point of time to spend on ads. So we just started building a lot of content led lead generation as an engine and in order to get leads.”
Fitbots uses over 100 free OKR templates to drive SEO rankings
“So we've got about a hundred plus templates and that helps us rank up as well.”
