✅ Verdict — This Model Changes Everything
🎯With absolute firm additions (not % growth), the numbers are dramatically stronger. Best case hits $360K ARR and 2,500 users by December — that's a real Series A story.
💡The $500K raise covers the full year comfortably. Total burn = $380K (ramping $20K→$50K/mo) leaving a $120K buffer. Best case adds $129K revenue on top → $249K cash position by Dec. Clean, no drama.
⚠️The Q4 ramp (40 firms/month) is the hard part. That requires Joey to build a repeatable outbound engine by Q3. Joanne's pipeline of 10 firms by March is just the proof of concept — the real machine needs to be running by July.
🚀Series A trigger: Hit 150+ firms and $15K+ MRR by Sep → raise $3–5M at $8–10M pre-money. The story: 1,500+ users, 150 accounting firm partners, $180K ARR run rate, Dext displacement proven.

YC Verdict: Conditional Yes
Not at $2M post-money. Come back with traction.
"We like the distribution mechanic, the team, and the Dext displacement angle. Your real pitch is that every accounting firm you sign becomes a distribution node. If you can show us 10 signed firms with 7+ users each by March 31, we'd talk at $5M pre. Come back with traction."
