TitleCapture

Bootstrapped vertical SaaS · Est. 2013 · Miami, US
👤 Alex Samant & Kethe Cicconi (Design-agency partners who landed Florida's largest title co as customer 1, then rode one underwriter's network to 150.)🌐 siteLinkedIn

A boring title-quote widget, bootstrapped to $5.6M ARR by letting one underwriter do the selling.

Will it work? · our read
Distribution won. No clever tech — a self-taught v1 and one underwriter relationship that opened a whole affiliate network. The moat is the channel and 0.7% churn, not the code.

Underwriter intros TitleCapture to its affiliated title agencies

Revenue is founder-self-reported, not audited: the Starter Story founder interview states $4M ARR / $300K+ MRR and 0.7% monthly churn; Latka lists $5.6M ARR for 2024 (also founder-reported), which I used as the headline. Customer count varies by source (Starter Story and the company site say '1,500+ title cos'; Latka says '1K'). Bootstrapped/unfunded is consistent across Starter Story, Latka and Tracxn. The cyclical 'dies' thesis is [our read]; its supporting datapoint — team shrinking 35 (2023) -> 19 (2026) — is founder-reported via Latka and coincides with the 2022-24 mortgage-rate shock. Competitor names (Qualia, SoftPro, CloseSimple) illustrate the closing-software landscape, not head-to-head win/loss data. No numbers invented. We never score you.
