Through this strategy, even though we're a small startup, our customers are therefore some of the world's most important institutions in sustainability, financial services, infrastructure, healthcare, and education. We focus on the needs of these highly regulated spaces, which means delivering a product that's not just incredibly powerful but also:Weaves security and governance
throughout every part of our product, not just paying it lip service.Focuses not on the flashy demo or quick wins, but the complex, sophisticated operations
that power these institutions.Unlike other SaaS providers, we aren't just another vendor to these companies: they sign six-figure contracts with Credal because they're betting on us as a partner to help them transition to an AI-first operation. Our use cases aren't just chat with docs, but core, fundamental operations central to the business, like KYC and AML at

Since then, no customer has

churned from Credal.NRR - 170% : On average, each existing customer contract expands by 70% YoY.Our win rate on commercial deals is 73% .
We have never lost a deal to a competitor .Our team has seen 5x IPOs and 3x unicorns . We've built a team of the star performers at elite companies.Our burn multiple is less than 1 . We burn less cash than we generate in ARR.Our market is gigantic : we have proven the ability to sign big six-figure deals.We are an N of 1 startup right now.About You
