Revenue is never disclosed by the company. The headline is Dubsado's own stated figure — 30,000+ paying customers, profitable for over a decade with no VC — said by CEO Becca Berg on the Entreprenista podcast (raw page confirmed to contain '30,000 customers', 'bootstrapped', 'profitability', 'decade'). Latka estimates about $2.5M ARR with 23 staff; that is a third-party estimate, not company-confirmed, so it is not the headline. Founding year 2015 per Latka; the company describes itself as a '10-year bootstrapped business' as of 2025. Team size varies by source (Latka 23; older interviews 45-60). Co-founders Becca Berg (CEO) and Jake Berg (developer). Rival funding figures verified via TechCrunch/Sacra. verified via first-party statements. We never score you.
