Story of Public Comps

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 ๐Ÿ˜ฉ. He hated having to double-check if the data was correct in CapIQ or Yahoo Finance ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ. There were no good alternatives online ๐Ÿคฌ.

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 ๐Ÿ˜Ž.
