The claim, plainly

Upsales grew from approximately 600–700 customers to roughly 1,800 customers in a short period following the migration of users from a white-label partnership.

a quote alone can be ambiguous, so this restates it with the references and context of the conversation around it resolved. AI-written; the tape below the player is the source.

Assessment

The claim asserts a specific operational history: that Upsales jumped from approximately 600–700 to roughly 1,800 customers rapidly due to a white-label partner migration. Official public filings (specifically a regulatory press release from Q2 2021) confirm that Upsales reached approximately 1,800 customers. However, public regulatory filings and interim reports from 2019–2022 focus on ARR, EBITDA, and aggregate metrics, omitting line-item breakdowns, partner identities, or baseline counts confirming that the transition from ~600–700 to ~1,800 occurred via a white-label migration. Because corroboration of this specific operational migration rests solely on spoken executive commentary and cannot be confirmed via audited or public financial disclosures, the claim cannot be definitively settled with public information.

Upsales Technology AB (publ) regulatory press release on July 1, 2021 ('Upsales ARR-tillväxt - Q2 2021') confirmed approximately 1,800 customers at the close of Q2 2021 ('Vid kvartalets slut hade bolaget cirka 1 800 kunder').
Annual and interim reports between 2019 and 2022 do not contain line-item disclosures or narrative confirmation of customer counts jumping from ~600–700 to ~1,800 via a white-label partnership migration.
Outside of spoken interviews by then-CEO Daniel Wikberg explaining the ~900 long-tail customer cohort, no public corporate filings document the specific partner transaction or migration figures.
