Competitor Learnings: Onfleet took 3+ years to reach 500 customers. OptimoRoute had ~800 customers after 8 years when raising Series A. Routific bootstrapped for years before meaningful scale. Even well-funded Nash (YC + a16z) focused on validation in Year 1.
Our Approach: Underpromise and overdeliver. Year 1 is founder-led sales, first case studies, and product-market fit validation. Enterprise deals have 90-180 day cycles; CUSTOM deals take 6-12 months. These projections assume no external funding or aggressive paid acquisition.
