How we helped a project management SaaS triple MRR in 6 months through systematic growth experiments
TechVenture had achieved strong product-market fit and was generating consistent inbound leads, but they'd plateaued at $400K MRR for 6 months. Their trial-to-paid conversion rate was stuck at 12%, and their customer acquisition costs were rising as they exhausted their initial audience. The founding team knew they had a world-class product but lacked the expertise to scale acquisition profitably.
We started with a comprehensive growth audit and identified three key opportunities:
Within 6 months, TechVenture went from $400K to $1.28M in MRR. More importantly, the growth was sustainable - their CAC:LTV ratio improved from 1:2.1 to 1:5.3, giving them the confidence to raise their Series B at a significantly higher valuation. The CEO credits Catalyst with "unlocking the playbook that took us from a good product to a growth engine."
"Catalyst didn't just help us grow - they taught us how to grow. The frameworks and experimentation mindset they instilled in our team continue to drive results long after the engagement ended. Best investment we've made in growth."
Breaking through the $2M ARR plateau to reach $5M with improved unit economics
CloudSaaS had been stuck at $2M ARR for 18 months despite raising a solid Series A. They were burning cash trying to grow through expensive enterprise sales motions that weren't working. Churn was high (8% monthly) and their product-led growth motion had stalled. The board was getting impatient.
We identified that they were fighting two battles: acquisition and retention. Here's how we tackled both:
CloudSaaS hit $5M ARR within 12 months and reached cash-flow positive for the first time. The combination of improved acquisition efficiency and dramatically reduced churn created a compounding growth effect. They're now tracking toward $10M ARR and have extended their runway by 18+ months.
"We were stuck and didn't know why. Catalyst came in, diagnosed the issues quickly, and executed a plan that completely transformed our business. We went from burning $150K/month to being cash-flow positive while growing faster than ever."
Scaling customer acquisition while maintaining strict CAC targets in a competitive market
FinanceFlow needed to scale customer acquisition aggressively to hit their Series C metrics, but the FinTech space is intensely competitive. Incumbents were outspending them 10:1 on paid channels, and their CAC was creeping up month over month. They needed to find creative ways to acquire customers profitably while competing against much larger players.
We couldn't outspend the competition, so we had to outsmart them:
FinanceFlow added over 50,000 new customers in 9 months - a 220% increase - while actually reducing blended CAC by 40%. The partnership channel created a sustainable, low-cost acquisition engine that continues to scale. They successfully raised their Series C at a 2x higher valuation than initially projected.
"Catalyst's attribution modeling finally gave us clarity on what was actually working. We were able to reallocate budget from underperforming channels and 2x down on winners. Our CAC is down 40% while we're growing faster than ever. The ROI is undeniable."
