Millions in an…T2
Smart Bear
A code review tool bolted onto version control systems, sold to enterprises with no salespeople — millions in revenue at roughly $1M per employee, and a founder who still woke at 3am panicking about payroll because none of it was recurring

WP Engine
Before it had a name, a slide deck, an employee or a server, 30-40 people had already agreed to pay $50/month for it — and annual prepay later gave it 3x monthly cash flow and what the founder calls an infinite marketing budget
