Market & Expansion

Software is the wedge.
The money flow is the business.

US subscription market
~$670M
22,300 shops × ~$30K/yr subscription
Beachhead
5–100 employee commercial, sign & digital shops
Too big for spreadsheets, too small for enterprise print MIS.
💳

Embedded payments

Every invoice and deposit already runs through Pulse CRM. A small take-rate on payment volume.

🔁

VendorHUB marketplace

Shops outsource overflow work to each other inside Pulse. Fee per routed job, so every new shop adds capacity for the others.

📦

SupplyHUB buying power

Pooled material demand across shops means volume pricing and supplier rebates.

🤖

AI on real job data

Quoting, ganging and scheduling models trained on 1,831+ real jobs, and better with every shop.

Channels: franchise networks, PRINTING United Alliance members, and equipment dealers.

Why Us

Hard to copy.

Few owners have the patience or AI fluency to build it — and few run our range of equipment and products to build and prove it against.

Domain Moat

Built inside a running shop

Every feature was tested live against real orders, real operators, and real presses — not in a vacuum. No outside dev team can replicate 5 years of that feedback.

AI + Print Expertise

Rare combination

Print operations knowledge plus AI fluency is an exceptionally rare skill set. The team that built Pulse owns both — and proved it at $9M in annual revenue.
