Key insights!1. Know your buyer and be strategic. We turned a $1M ARR run-rate into a $4M ARR reality by getting focused on the right buyer and repeatable plan. 2. Acquisitions destroy value when teams aren’t aligned, strategies are in opposition, and product-market fit isn’t solidified. 3. Build a great company based how it will make money and then match the right investments at the right time. But really, let your customer demand be your greatest funding vehicle!4. If you’re in a go-to-market role and there’s an acquisition on the horizon, say “no” and find an opportunity where you have runway to get real traction. 5. Everything is ultimately fixable and “turn-aroundable.” The question is: can we create value from here?

We bootstrapped Periscope (formerly DME Consulting Group) and what a ride it was!Lesson learned: solving a critical challenge one customer at a time delivers outsized returns. A partner and I commercialized Periscope, originally DME Consulting Group, in 2008 after discovering a gap in healthcare delivery for complex durable medical equipment. Working with insurance payers, our service brought clarity to what a member (patient) needed to be successful in their daily lives. We developed a game-changing technology and new processes for insurance companies that allowed them to reallocate millions each year to address critical health initiatives. Our services ultimately helped payers deliver the right equipment, to the right member, at the right time. This reduced emergency medical service needs and improved the safety for someone in their home and community.
