Quickli

Bootstrapped vertical SaaS · Sydney · founded 2020
👤 Eric Dill & Angus Keatinge (Eric brokered mortgages in Sydney and felt the pain daily; his mate Angus could build it — insider plus engineer.)🌐 siteLinkedIn

A broker who lived it and an engineer turned broking's worst daily chore into 50%+ share — no VC, no sales team.

Will it work? · our read
Insider wedge won. Acute daily pain plus a tight broker network made 'build it and they come' actually work. The catch is downstream: borrowed lender data and one small market cap the ceiling.

Revenue A$5M ARR (about US$3.3M) is founder-stated on the Practical Founders podcast (#115, Mar 2025), not a filing — first-party but self-reported, so STATED not FILED. The 50%+ market share, 10,000+ brokers and 40 staff are also founder-stated; the site now cites 14,000+ brokers and about 50 lenders. Bootstrapped/no-outside-funding confirmed by the founder. The 'maintenance is the moat' framing and the 'dies' scenario are [our read], not founder claims. No drama invented — this won on an insider wedge, an acute daily pain, and a tight referral network. We never score you.
