Bootstrapping to $50M ARR in Vertical SaaS | Vantaca's HOA Software Playbook

Vantaca's journey in building software for HOA management companies is explored, with Ben Currin detailing how he and his partner Dave Sawyer scaled the company. Currin, a former nuclear engineer, explains their focus on "not sexy" vertical SaaS markets with financial components. Vantaca, which provides a general ledger system and engagement tools for homeowners, serves 500 community management companies, encompassing 50,000 communities and six million homes. Bootstrapping until 2022, they reached high single-digit millions in revenue before taking minority investments from JMI Equity and Cove Hill Partners to further invest in product development and scale the business. The discussion also covers Vantaca's expansion into payments and treasury services, as well as the integration of AI through the acquisition of HOAI, to automate tasks and enhance customer service.
