Kasper Spiro had been in learning and development for over 25 years when he launched Easygenerator in 2013. He was 58 at the time of this interview and had started companies before; his stated motivation is not money but doing it properly once — a product that adds real value, and a good place to work. The insight is simple enough to state in a sentence. Inside a company, content is created by a central department, which makes it expensive, slow, disconnected from the business, and impossible to maintain. Spiro's argument is that the business should own its own content, so Easygenerator is an authoring tool that lets subject-matter experts write an e-learning course themselves, without the central department being part of the process. It started with courses and was expanding into what the company calls resources — one-pagers, checklists, the small artefacts people actually share. The funding story is unusual. Easygenerator began as a business unit inside an existing company, grew to roughly $250,000 a year in revenue there, and was then spun out after Spiro pitched the vision and the market potential. The parent still owns 100% of the business. Spiro holds no equity at all, only a revenue-sharing arrangement, and the company has never raised venture capital — it is bootstrapped off the parent's original backing and its own cash. By December 2020 it was at a $4.2 million run rate, roughly double the $2.1 million of a year earlier, with 1,200 customers and 70 employees. The goal that year was 75% growth; they raised it to 80% and got close to 90%.

Revenue, customer count, churn, retention and CAC are all self-reported by Kasper Spiro and unaudited; Easygenerator is privately held, so none of it appears in filings. The interviewer pushes hard on the revenue number and the founder checks it live, which is worth something, and the two settle on a dollar-euro discrepancy: Spiro states about €330,000 for the last month, which he and Latka treat as roughly $360,000, and lands the year at $3.96 million while Latka frames the forward run rate as $4.2 million. Both figures appear in this entry and they are not the same measure. The $105,000 top-contract figure is Latka's closing summary; the founder himself said "just under 100,000 in euros" and "over 100 thousand dollars." Churn was given as roughly 10% with the founder initially unsure whether it was monthly or annual before confirming annual.
