The software was a roofing company's internal fix. The roofing company became the smaller half of the story.

Practical Founders #52 (Jun 2023) — Fingles interview: $7M ARR in 2021, now over $20M ARR with over 150 employees; Nexa Equity majority in 2021.Leap pricing — CRM Essential $79/mo single user, Team from $298/mo plus $99/mo per added user, SalesPro Premium from $750/mo, one-year contracts paid monthly.Leap (Aug 2025) — No. 1473 on the 2025 Inc. 5000 with 295% three-year revenue growth, its fifth consecutive year.Leap (Aug 2021) — No. 637 on the 2021 Inc. 5000 with 756% three-year revenue growth.Leap (Mar 2022) — Fingles announces the JobProgress acquisition.
The $20M+ ARR is Greg Head's summary of his June 2023 founder interview, not a Leap publication and not a direct quote from Fingles, so it is STATED and verified is false. Leap has never printed a revenue figure itself; its freshest first-party number is a growth rate, not dollars, and the ARR is three years old. Latka's $50M ARR and $150M valuation are rejected: nobody at Leap stands behind them and Latka's own page carries a conflicting $38.2M. Inc.'s 295% three-year growth for 2021-2024, self-reported to Inc., is at least consistent with $7M ARR in 2021 [our read]. Leap's post titled 'Leap is No. 21 on the Inc. 5000 List' is the D.C. Metro regional list, not the national one; the body says so and the title misleads. Two pages would not open, so nothing behind them is asserted here: the PRNewswire release on the Nexa investment (body is JS-gated) and JobNimbus (403), which is why the widely repeated '700 contractors, $4B of estimates, $1B of loans' figures are absent. Prices and Inc. ranks were read from raw bytes on Leap's own pages. The drama is documented, not invented: the multiple quote is on the record. We never score you.
