Nick Lissette, Chief Executive Officer, commented on the Q2 results: "Last month, we passed a major milestone: $10 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR). Success fuels acceleration; our next milestone is $20 million in ARR, which we aim to reach within 12 to 18 months. With 108% year-on-year growth in new ARR per quarter and 91% year-on-year growth in average revenue per Pearl Diver customer, we’re confident in our trajectory. Our recent oversubscribed private placement demonstrates robust investment support, positioning us for significant growth despite the challenging economic landscape.”

With increased recurring revenue and additional capital, we are well positioned to increase investment in growth, innovation, and customer success," says Karen Cargill, Chief Financial Officer.
