Astaltiby James Mooring
Astalti is a vertical SaaS platform built for NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) service providers in Australia. Co-founded by James Mooring (developer) and Jono (NDIS provider with deep domain expertise), the company bootstrapped to $720K ARR in just 18 months by building exceptionally well-crafted software for a specific niche, focusing first on support coordination rather than trying to build a full CRM, and leveraging in-person events, word-of-mouth, and world-class customer support to drive growth. The combination of domain expertise, product excellence, and deliberate go-to-market choices created explosive word-of-mouth growth in a tight vertical with hundreds of thousands of potential customers.
