## About the company

Juro is a browser-native contract-automation platform for legal teams. It brings contract creation, collaboration, approval, and management into a single workflow, reducing the friction of documents moving between legal, commercial, and operational stakeholders.

The company is a subscription business with a pronounced land-and-expand motion. Its materials show net dollar retention above 100% and a cohort pattern in which existing customers add value over time, making expansion and contraction important alongside new logo growth.

The model follows an ARR waterfall that separates new bookings, expansion, contraction, churn, and ending ARR. It connects these cohorts to ACV, sales capacity, retention, gross margin, product and customer-success costs, and headcount-driven operating expenses.

## What's included

- 5-year monthly revenue build with stage-appropriate growth assumptions
- Full P&L, headcount plan, and operating-expense schedule
- Cash-flow statement, runway, and burn-rate tracking
- Valuation via exit multiple with a DCF cross-check
- Returns analysis with MOIC and IRR
- Unit economics including CAC, LTV, payback, and cohort retention

## Product & value proposition

Browser-native contract platform replacing MS Word + 4 other point tools (create, negotiate, sign, store, track). Built on a structured data model rather than files. Three core modules:
1. Self-serve automation - initiate contracts from integrated tools
2. Collaborative workflow - multiplayer edits, approvals
3. Data-rich repository - real-time query of contract data

Key differentiator: structured data model vs. file-based incumbents; enables downstream analytics and workflow integrations.

## Revenue model

- Subscription ARR; pricing structure not disclosed in deck
- Land-and-expand: initial seat/usage footprint expands as customers add more contracts
- GTM: primarily inbound-led (organic inbound 45.0% of 2021 SQLs, paid inbound 16.6%, outbound 38.4%)
- Customers span SaaS, FinTech, Retail, Healthcare, Marketplace and 10+ other verticals
- Typical customers: Luno, Cazoo, QuantumScape, Deliveroo, Personio, The RealReal, Trustpilot

## Traction & metrics

- ARR: "$XXm+" - exact figure redacted in deck
- Net ARR growth y/y: 3x
- 12-month net dollar retention: "1xx%" - exact figure redacted (confirmed >100%)
- Contracts added in 12 months: 250k+
- Growth in contracts added m/m: 26.5%
- Gross $ARR quarterly churn (most recent quarters): trending down; 1.1% Q1 2021 → 0.6% Q2 2021 (net churn shown as negative/expansion in chart)
- Net $ARR quarterly churn: positive expansion (net negative churn); chart labels show 5.0%, 5.5%, 10.6% - these appear to be net quarterly expansion rates at the bottom of the area chart
- ARR added / net cash burn: 1:1
- Gross sales efficiency: 0.9
- NPS (customer): 72
- Community group members: 550+
- Headcount: ~25 (Oct 2020) growing to ~50 (Sep 2021)
- Employee NPS: 94; Glassdoor 5.0 stars, 100% recommend, 100% CEO approval
- ARR cohort chart (slide 11) shows compounding expansion across Q2 2020 – Q3 2021 cohorts; individual customer expansion case studies redacted ($XXXk ARR, XX%–XXX% growth)

## Unit economics

- Gross sales efficiency: 0.9 (implies ~$0.90 of new ARR per $1 of S&M spend)
- ARR added / net cash burn: 1:1 (implies burn multiple of ~1x - highly capital efficient)
- Net dollar retention: >100% (1xx%) - LTV theoretically unbounded given expansion

## Competition / moat

Positioning: sole occupant of "all-in-one + suitable for legal" quadrant; competitors are blurred in the quadrant chart:
- Upper-left quadrant (all-in-one, not optimized for legal): 2 blurred logos - likely general workflow/CRM players
- Lower-left quadrant (files-based, not optimized for legal): 3 blurred logos - likely DocSign, Adobe Sign type e-signature tools
- Lower-right quadrant (files-based, suitable for legal): 1 blurred logo - likely a legacy CLM or Word plug-in

Stated moat: structured data model (not files) creates switching costs and downstream data lock-in; community of 550+ champions; NPS 72. Vision is to own the "system of record" layer for all contracts across teams, similar to DocuSign's ownership of e-signature.

## Recommended financial model

- **Archetype + why:** SaaS ARR model with cohort-based expansion. Juro is a pure subscription business with a pronounced land-and-expand dynamic (net NDR >100%, cohort stacking visible). The model should track new ARR, expansion ARR, contraction, and churn separately - exactly the waterfall shown in slide 6. A 3-statement is not warranted at this stage; ARR bridge + unit economics + headcount-driven opex is the right structure.

- **Forecast horizon & granularity:** Monthly for Year 1–2, quarterly for Year 3–5. Given the deck is ~Q3 2021, a 5-year model (2022–2026) makes sense for a Series B investment decision.

- **Key drivers & assumptions:**

| Driver | Value / Tag |
| -- | -- |
| ARR base (start of model) | Redacted in deck - "$XXm+"; ~$3–5m ARR based on 3x y/y growth from a plausible seed-stage base, 50-person team, and $8m total raised with 1:1 burn multiple. Confirm with company. |
| New ARR growth (new logo) | ~80–100% y/y new business ARR in Year 1, decelerating to ~50% by Year 3, ~30% by Year 5 |
| Net dollar retention (NDR) | >100% confirmed; "1xx%"; 115–125% for modelling (mid-point of 100–130% range) |
| Gross $ARR quarterly churn rate | Trending to ~0.6% per quarter; stabilises at 0.5–0.8% quarterly (~2–3% annualised gross churn) |
| Gross margin | 70–75% - typical for early B2B SaaS with some implementation/support cost; not disclosed |
| S&M as % of revenue | 40–50% at current scale, declining as inbound scales; gross sales efficiency 0.9 implies ~$1.11 S&M spend per $1 new ARR added |
| R&D as % of revenue | 30–35% - product-led company, likely engineering-heavy |
| G&A as % of revenue | 15–20% |
| Headcount growth | ~25 → ~50 in 12 months; continues at ~50–70% y/y in Year 1–2, then normalises |
| Average contract value (ACV) | $20–50k - SMB-to-mid-market legal teams; no pricing shown in deck |
| Sales cycle | 1–3 months (inbound-led, tech-savvy buyers) |
| GTM mix | Organic 45% / Outbound 38% / Paid 17%; inbound share grows as brand scales |

- **Scenarios (Base / Bull / Bear - which variables flex):**
  - **Base:** NDR 115%, new ARR growth 80% Year 1 declining linearly, gross churn 0.7% quarterly
  - **Bull:** NDR 125%, new ARR growth 100%+ Year 1, churn 0.5% quarterly - inbound flywheel accelerates
  - **Bear:** NDR 105%, new ARR growth 50% Year 1, churn 1.5% quarterly - market softens, expansion slows

- **Required sheets / outputs:**
  1. **Assumptions** - all drivers in one tab
  2. **ARR Bridge** - monthly waterfall: beginning ARR + new business + expansion − contraction − churn = ending ARR
  3. **Cohort Model** - quarterly cohort table showing expansion over time (mirrors slide 11 chart)
  4. **P&L** - Revenue → Gross Profit → S&M / R&D / G&A → EBITDA → Net burn
  5. **Headcount Plan** - by department; drives opex
  6. **Cash / Runway** - cash balance, monthly burn, runway given raise amount
  7. **KPI Dashboard** - ARR, MRR, NDR, gross churn, ARR added/burn, sales efficiency
  8. **Scenarios** - toggle or separate columns for Base / Bull / Bear
