He Hit $1M ARR in 90 Days. Then the Board Pivoted Without Him
Advisor.TV — in partnership with Crosswater Capital
Ryan Lee helped launch Apple Pay, then founded Nautical Commerce as the pandemic hit and reached $1M in recurring revenue in his first 90 days. He walks Dave through 45 VC inbounds with no checks, the angel check that unlocked three term sheets, the $30M offer he turned down, and the board pivot that followed.
