Revenue 'over $5M' is STATED by co-founder Sean Meister on the Practical Founders podcast (episode #11); the page prints 'over $5M in revenues.' It is not audited and no filing exists — M2M was private and bootstrapped, so no FILED number is reachable. Employee count (15), the device-financing model and the reseller channel are from the same episode page. M2M bundles GPS hardware with the SaaS, so it is not pure software; the recurring subscription is the core asset and hardware is financed as a means to it. Year shown as 2015 to match the founder's '6-year exit' framing; the brand's own copy traces the mission to 2013. Acquired by AAMP Global in 2021, deal terms undisclosed. Sean Meister is featured as the documented founder-guest; Marc Lonson was CEO and co-founder. verified:true on a first-party founder account of the figure. We never score you.
