The fastest growing Bootstrapped SaaS companies in the US

Bootstrapped companies account for 70% of all new businesses launched in the US. And out of all sectors under the tech umbrella, B2B SaaS has been touted as one of the most favorable ones if you’re looking to forego outside capital and bootstrap. 

With a healthy ARR topline and solid margins, some don’t raise funding or aim for 1 round and aim to be high cash flow businesses. Some can even build to the point of exiting for 8 or nine figures, e.g. Mailchimp’s exit to Intuit for $12B.

With the recent funding slowdown, we see our VC and PE clients targeting well-run bootstrapped companies to fund more and more. We dove into the Crustdata database to find the largest and fastest growing bootstrapped companies in the US. And here they are:

Compucom, with its decades-long expertise in creating digital workplace solutions and an impressive clientele comprising Fortune 500 companies, leads the pack with over 8,000 employees.

Genesis Digital tops the chart here. The company helps small business owners achieve financial freedom with its product ‘Kartra’ which is an all-in-one suite for customer, email, video and shopping cart managemen

California-based Dew Software helps companies transition from project initiation to full-scale operations through Build Operate Transfer (BOT) models.

Sales (both inbound and outbound) forms the backbone of any B2B software company. 

Quest Software, a software solution company aimed at simplifying IT management, employs a staggering 26% of its 3000+ workforce in a sales role.

Last year, 41% of all the B2B startups launched in the US were bootstrapped. 75-80% of all US B2B SaaS companies are bootstrapped at some point. Atlassian, for instance, bootstrapped to $50M ARR before raising their first round.

The US B2B SaaS market is expected to reach $671.7 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 11.3% . It’s safe to say that bootstrapped companies will play a big part in fueling this growth.
