The Top Entrepreneurs In Money, Marketing, Business And Life

How do you build a vertical SaaS company to ~$50M ARR serving 6M homes — after bootstrapping to $5–10M without outside capital — and then 10x with a minority PE round instead of giving up control? Ben Currin is the CEO of Vantaca, a vertical SaaS platform powering community association management companies. Since launching in 2018, Vantaca has grown to ~500 customers managing 50,000 communities and 6M homes, scaling from low six figures in 2018 to ~$1M in 2019, $5–10M by 2022, and roughly 10x revenue since taking minority investment. This is not a trendy market. HOA management is fragmented, operationally complex, and historically under-served by modern software. Vantaca didn't win with viral PLG or heavy paid acquisition. They went top-down enterprise, priced per door, embedded payments and treasury, and built the general ledger system of record for an entire industry.
