We've deployed it across uh 4,000 businesses that have signed up to our platform. We then launched three AI uh products.
00:16
Steve
All right, welcome back inside our Proactive News Room and joining me now is Alex De Mounie. He is the CEO of Mivo AI.
00:23
Steve
And Alex, great to see you again. How are you?
00:27
Alex De Mounie
It's great to see you too, Steve. I'm doing very well. Thank you.
00:30
Steve
Good. Well, the company out with uh with a substantial growth in revenue and that's that's obviously a uh a big number that jumps off, 560%.
00:39
Steve
So, uh I'll leave it to you now to talk to us a little bit about what you're seeing. It's very good.
00:43
Alex De Mounie
Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, look, our our our year end Steve is in May.
00:48
Alex De Mounie
Right? So the revenue that we've announced is from June to August, which is our financial Q1.
00:54
Alex De Mounie
And we've generated more revenue in those three months than we have in the entire year.
01:00
Alex De Mounie
Right? So and and and this is mainly because of two reasons, right? So we're we're seeing existing customers
01:04
Alex De Mounie
moving from a lower price plan to a higher price plan, and that's telling us that they're deriving value in our platform and in our offering.
01:10
Alex De Mounie
And we're also acquiring new customers, right?
01:13
Alex De Mounie
So, we see this at both as an early indication that our business model is working. And the fact that this is monthly recurring revenue that we are booking, right?
01:19
Alex De Mounie
Because they're signing on on a subscription basis, it gives us predictability in terms of our commercials and we also have this retention model that creates opportunities for us to introduce
01:28
Alex De Mounie
additional products and services to our existing client base.
01:33
Steve
Alex, this is really no surprise to you. You and I have been talking over the last year or so that you've been building towards this and and and really starting to the model of the company is to get to this recurring revenue and where you are right now.
01:43
Steve
So it sounds like the the plan that you've implemented is really working.
01:47
Alex De Mounie
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, we're we're we're definitely delivering on what we're promising and what we're committing to.
01:52
Alex De Mounie
You know, we spoke uh about this earlier Steve about you kind of Mivo and, you know, developing and testing our AI technology. We've deployed it across uh 4,000 businesses that have signed up to our platform.
02:00
Alex De Mounie
We then launched three AI uh products. Uh we've offered customized solutions on the back of those products, which we charge on a monthly
02:07
Alex De Mounie
which we charge a monthly subscription for and that's what gives us the recurring revenue. And the recurring revenue is really what's important here because we're not relying on one-off projects,
02:12
Alex De Mounie
right? We're we're we're booking revenue on a monthly basis and we're seeing an upward trajectory in terms of that revenue.
02:18
Steve
Yeah. And and and that really sort of is a a way that you can uh differentiate yourself from from those uh that you're competing against as well.
02:25
Steve
And that's and obviously the model seems to be working.
02:27
Alex De Mounie
Yeah, yeah, for sure. I mean, you know, uh recurring revenue is definitely our our North star, you know, growing it, uh growing our subscription base.
02:34
Alex De Mounie
I mean, the the the nice thing about this is is that, you know, by by retaining customers within our system, you know, we're sitting on a large data set of customers as well as expertise to then continuously build and test more products that they're asking us for.
02:46
Steve
Yeah. How do you keep this going? What's sort of the plan for the next six months and the rest of this year, obviously?
02:51
Alex De Mounie
Yeah, I mean, look what we're going to do Steve is that we're we're going to continuously build and nurture the distribution network that we've put into place uh to be able to service customers in multiple markets.
02:59
Alex De Mounie
Right? Uh these distribution partners themselves could become potential acquisition targets in the future to complement our organic growth, but that's if it makes sense to our business model, right?
03:09
Alex De Mounie
But from a from a product development standpoint, um, you know, by operating in several markets, by working with a broad range of customers, it definitely creates new opportunities for us to be able to introduce new products through the global network that we've been building.
03:22
Alex De Mounie
And the products that we're building, Steve, always have a measurable impact on a business.
03:27
Alex De Mounie
So, two businesses, for example, that we've worked with have already turned profitable using our technology, and we're helping other companies turn AI native.
03:34
Alex De Mounie
So we're going to be continuously strengthening our business model and our offering uh uh uh to a wide spectrum of small and medium-sized enterprises.
03:41
Steve
All right, we look forward to continuing to follow the story as it develops for sure.
03:45
Steve
Alex, thanks so much. Congratulations. Uh 560% revenue growth, very exciting for you and the team.
03:51
Alex De Mounie
Thank you Steve, it's great talking with you.
03:53
