Title Capture grew from a software services business into a vertical SaaS product for title agencies. Founder Alex Samant and his cofounder Keith began building software for clients after working in design and web development. In 2013, the largest title company in Florida asked them to build a quoting tool that would disclose rates and fees to real estate agents and lenders. Instead of accepting a custom build fee and handing over ownership, they proposed funding the product themselves and charging the client a low monthly fee. That customer accepted, and the founders tested whether the same job mattered across the title industry. The interview says Title Capture eventually served about 1,000 title agencies, captured 10% of its market, and had an eight-figure exit. The creator’s description calls it an eight-figure founder exit; the transcript does not give exact deal terms or a precise revenue figure. Its edge came from deep workflow knowledge, a narrow initial job, and gradual expansion rather than a generic software feature set.
For a vertical product serving title agencies, the first customers are best found through existing industry relationships and a painful workflow that happens in nearly every transaction. Title Capture began when a large Florida title company approached the founders’ software house for a quoting tool.

Data credibility: The interview and video description report roughly 1,000 agency customers, 10% market share, and an eight-figure exit. These are creator-reported summary figures; exact revenue, margins, audited customer data, and transaction terms are not provided.
Title Capture’s first revenue came from turning a proposed custom software engagement into a recurring product relationship. The largest title company in Florida was willing to pay the founders to build a quoting app.
A vertical SaaS flywheel begins when one customer’s repeated workflow becomes a credible template for peers. Title Capture’s quoting job sat at the start of a real estate closing: title agencies needed to disclose their rates and fees to agents and lenders.
Vertical SaaS founders often hear positive reactions before they see repeated use. Alex recounts an early product experience where people praised an idea, the team built it, and then nobody used it.
