🚴♂️ Integrating for Success: Monster Tote's Operational Upgrade 🚴♂️ We're excited to share a recent success story from our portfolio company, Monster Totes! John McConnell, the CEO, built his business using RentMy, a reliable SaaS for equipment rentals. However, integrating RentMy with Monday.com for marketing and order tracking, and Google Calendar for booking, posed a challenge due to the lack of communication between these systems. This resulted in redundant manual data entry and inefficiencies. Proven Ventures stepped in and connected John with Devon Seacrest, CEO of CodeBuddy. Devon's team developed a custom CodeKit that seamlessly integrated these platforms, allowing data to flow effortlessly between RentMy, Monday.com, and Google Calendar. This integration has significantly reduced manual work, enabling John to focus more on customer engagement and business growth. This crucial upgrade has positioned Monster Tote for scalability, ensuring their platform can handle increased marketing and sales efforts. We're proud to have facilitated this important enhancement for Monster Tote, paving the way for their continued success! 💪 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ewkKM83d

Last week, we hosted our third Fund One Annual Meeting, themed "Unlock Your Multiple." As we move later into the deployment phase of the fund, we're balancing the prioritization of scale and sustainability. Both factors—scale and sustainability—influence your exit multiple, and one matters even more for founders who want to achieve personal wealth through their company's growth. The 18 portfolio companies within Fund One have amassed more than $14M in revenue. That's an impressive number but can be deceptive. Revenue is a great signal, but the end game is reaching consistent profitability. That's where our sights are set moving forward. It's good for everyone's bottom line, and mental health, if we're all being honest!
