Deep dives
Revenue Streams from Percent of GMV and SaaS Product
The company, UtilizeCore, generated approximately 1.6 million in 2020 from their percent of GMV revenue stream. They take a half percent transaction fee from the total volume processed through their platform, which amounted to a couple hundred million dollars. Additionally, they have 20 customers, including Brightview, who pay an average of $33,000 per year for their SaaS product. This brings in an additional 500 to a million dollars in annual recurring revenue.
The Origin Story and Problem-solving for Chase Bank
UtilizeCore started in 2017 when they were approached by Brightview, the largest landscape and snow removal company globally, to solve an issue with Chase Bank. Chase needed transparency to ensure their locations were plowed on time to prevent slip and fall incidents. UtilizeCore strategized a growth hack solution that allowed Chase Bank to use a mobile application to see real-time service history and requests, including images of plowed areas. This successful collaboration led them to expand their services to other trades.
Bootstrap Growth and Expansion Plans
UtilizeCore has achieved impressive growth and revenue without external funding, operating as a bootstrapped company. However, to accelerate their growth further, they are considering raising around seven million dollars in capital. They believe they can capitalize on the six hundred and eighty billion dollar market in service management and facility management. With their unique platform and no competitors, they plan to optimize the industry by automating processes and introducing AI technology. They are seeking strategic investors in the venture space who can help them achieve high growth.
