Questions founders ask.About help desk software.

Do you buy customer support outsourcing firms?

No. Services businesses are outside our first search. We look for software.

What about AI answer features?

We look at their cost, their accuracy and how customers use them before we change them.

Is this a separate search?

No. The same search profile applies to every business type: $5k–$20k in monthly recurring revenue and three to eight years of history are preferences, not cut-offs.
