Would estate planners ever pay us to assemble and deliver their client binders/portfolios?

We asked this in April 2020 as we launched our "binder assembly" service as an add on to our notarization, witness sourcing and document recording product suite.

Venturing into surfing feels a lot like building a startup.

Both require:
- Reading the unpredictable waves
- Timing your take-off
- Balance through turbulence

And just like a successful founder, you occasionally wipe out! But it's the tenacity to get back up that counts.

[Eli Angote @Elitweets]

It takes courage to take on the status quo.

When VA become the first to allow RON: (Remote Online Notarization) back in 2011, its seemed like it was sci-fi. Now 44 states have followed suit.

As of today CO, ND, UT, WA, AZ, FL, IL, IN, MD, NV accept electronic wills.

Onward!

Something you may not know about Buffer:

We've raised just $4M in total funding over our almost 14-year journey, and generated over $170M in total lifetime revenue. Our last round was almost a decade ago in 2014.

For 8 of our 13 years, we’ve been profitable. And since 2017, we have bought back 21.2% of fully diluted shares.

Despite being in a phase of decline the past few years, we entered that period with a very strong bank balance of over $6M. We did not have to carry out any layoffs, throughout the pandemic or when they were very prevalent in 2022/23.

Not only that, we have been able to continue buying back stock from folks who were seeking liquidity. In 2023, we carried out three stock repurchases, at a collective cost of $889K. Buying back stock during a period of decline has set us up to be in a strong position.

This year, we're back to growth and profitability. We're fast approaching $19M in ARR and it feels like there's a ton of opportunity in our space right now. I enjoy operating with the flexibility to go our own unique path and really build something meaningful for customers and the team.

As with life, there are seasons to a company. I love that we've created a company where we can embrace the various seasons of our industry and business, rather than turn everything upside down after one tough quarter.

@joelgascoigne Incredible feat!

When Silicon Valley tech companies talk about their DEI program or their robust STEM pipeline program they’ve had for years to diversify their workfore, don’t believe them. When they say they have a diverse workforce, don’t believe them. They’re lying. #SiliconValleyPainIndex

Besides attorneys, I think anyone else who works as an experienced consultant with a vast rolodex can relate to this.

Its a rare company that can deliver speed and quality at a low price.

What are you optimizing for in your business?

I was born a mistake and continue to make them daily and have accepted them as the cost of being a HUMAN which also stands for:

Humbly
Understanding
Mistakes
Are
Necessary

What helps me and my team move forward is to document and learn from each OTG (Opportunity To Grow.

Influencing, inviting and persuading others can be tough.

Leading by example has brought me the best results.

Recently a friend mentioned that she doesn’t like eating “crucified vegetables” so I prompted Stable Diffusion to visualize what they would look like? 😂
