Financial Review

Q1 2025 Performance

CFO Sarah Kim presented Q1 results. ARR growth exceeded plan for the third consecutive quarter, driven primarily by enterprise expansion within the financial services vertical. Gross margins held steady as infrastructure efficiencies offset compensation increases.

Capital Strategy

Series C Planning

The Board discussed timing and structure for a proposed $50M Series C round. Target close is Q3 2025, with a pre-money valuation range of $380M–$420M based on initial indications from three tier-one firms. Use of proceeds will prioritize international expansion (EMEA first), platform R&D, and strategic hires across go-to-market leadership.

Okafor and Vasquez — representing existing investors — confirmed pro-rata participation intent. Chen will engage Qatalyst Partners as placement advisor pending committee approval.
