Two BDC insiders built call-center software for a job every dealer CRM ignored, then got automakers to pay the bill.

Will it work? · our read
Own the niche. A boring, gatekept vertical is the whole point: BDC insiders plus OEM co-op approval make Volie hard to dislodge, but the same US-auto niche caps how big it gets.

Revenue ($14M, 2025), $1.2M MRR, the $1M-to-$14M curve, 2,000 rooftops, 4 customers in 2017, about 85% family ownership and $0 raised are all founder-disclosed by Scott Davis on Latka's podcast (Jan 2026) and mirrored on getlatka — STATED/founder-stated, not audited filings. The 16% margin, $42M valuation and $230k rev/employee are Latka figures [our read]. GM iMR/PASE and FordDirect approvals are documented on volie.com; the 'co-op fund pays the bill' framing follows GM's own approved-vendor/co-op rules. No numbers invented. We never score you.
