Our note

Worth knowing.

Our note: Founded in 2018, before the 2020 cut-off in STARTUPS-SHAPE.md; included only because the brief named it as an example. Drop it if the cut-off is strict. Fortune is not on the trusted-outlet list; figures match TechCrunch's 2025 report where they overlap. The Information-sourced ARR figure in TechCrunch ($117 million contracted ARR, Q1 2025) includes customers not yet onboarded.
