In the early days of SaaStr, we did a “Get In Early” series where you could take a look at the actual metrics, and an actual video, of a break-out SaaS company between $1m and $10m ARR that you probably hadn’t heard of yet. One that hadn’t yet raised a mega-round, but that was growing at double-digit a month rates.
We’re going to try to kick it off again, here with Gorgias.io. Since this one I happen to have also invested in, I know the metrics below are accurate — top decile growth, great founders, happy customers, and not yet discovered:
-
- Size: 1m+ ARR.
- Growth: 16%+ for the last 6 months.
- What it does: Gorgias enables e-commerce merchants to manage all their customer support – Facebook, emails, chat – in a unified platform integrated with Shopify. 150 and counting 5-star reviews.
- Money: $3.3m led by SaaStr Fund, CRV and Amplify
- Deal Size: $2k+ ACV (50% close rate, takes 7 days to close).
- Logos: Timbuk2, Adoreme, Frichti, Thrive Causemetics, Maverick by Logan Paul, Sunski
- Location: SF
- Out / In-bound: 50% outbound, 50% inbound (Shopify app store, SDR, agencies)
- Profile Buyer: Customer support manager / Director of e-commerce
- Hiring in Sales: SDR, AEs
- Hiring in Marketing: Head of growth
- Special notes: taste for automation and data crunching is always appreciated
That’s about it 🙂 With that said, let me introduce their team:
You can apply here to join their SF-based team in the fancy office showcased above in the video!

And if you are at $1m-$10m ARR, growing 10% a month or more, and haven’t raised a mega-round, let us know if you want to be featured! {->But you gotta make the video.}
