As a VC associate, Jon was sick and tired of manually finding comps or pulling SaaS data, especially non-GAAP data, from SEC filings or company press releases ๐ฉ. He hated having to double-check if the data was correct in CapIQ or Yahoo Finance ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ. There were no good alternatives online ๐คฌ.
Luckily, Jon and his roommate Howard decided to team up to automate the very tedious process of scraping SaaS metrics.
Our hope for Public Comps is to organize and analyze the most accurate SaaS metrics for public software companies so you don't have to ๐.
Jon leads growth and data operations at Public Comps ๐. He fell in love with SaaS companies ๐ after spending 4 years investing in SaaS companies at Insight Partners ๐ and SignalFire ๐ฅ. When he's not writing emoji-filled ๐โโ๏ธ๐ posts on SaaS or reading cases at Harvard Business School ๐ซ, Jon can be found watching or playing basketball ๐.
Howard is the tech lead at Public Comps ๐ฎ. He's currently a senior full-stack engineer at SignalFire ๐ฅ creating products and algorithms to source and support startups. Howard previously spent time working at Salesforce ๐งพ and Groupon ๐ฌ. In his free time, Howard can be found at the gym ๐๏ธ or his local coffee shop โ.
