Most startups burn cash chasing vanity metrics. Netrepid has $200K in funding and $100K in revenue—a 50% revenue-to-funding ratio that would make VCs weep with joy. Yet they've achieved this with zero organic search, zero direct traffic, and zero backlinks. This isn't a startup that failed to scale online; it's one that never needed to. Their tech stack suggests a modern web presence (Tailwind, Bootstrap, jQuery), but their traffic numbers tell a different story entirely. Perhaps they're B2B, perhaps they're hardware-focused, or perhaps they've cracked the code on offline-first revenue generation.

President and Founder Samuel Coyl has built something unusual: a company with a $25K per employee revenue ratio that doesn't play the growth game. In an era where every startup is a media company first and a product company second, Netrepid appears to be the opposite. With just 4 employees, they're operating at a density that suggests either extreme efficiency or a business model that doesn't scale with headcount. The $200K funding round likely came from angels or strategic investors who saw value beyond the vanity metrics.
