It's built on Salesforce. They serve mostly mid-size regional banks. It's honestly super cheap for what it is -- its no wonder they're gaining as much traction as they are.

I’m curious to know how they deal with many of Salesforce’s governor limits or if they have a plan to scale. Salesforce is not a platform you can scale your business on. Unless this is some sort of Managed Package you install?

How do you know the founder is an immigrant? Edit: Founder is from South Africa, didn't see that in my initial search.

I’m speculating that they looked at the name and made that assumption, which would be all kinds of problematic on its own.

I'm guessing the same. The co-founder/CEO went to Upper Iowa University. Could still be an immigrant, but seems unlikely.

This is the first time I've heard of nCino. I haven't seen it mentioned on HN before. Yet it's probably more successful than many of our own ventures might be. A good reminder to stay humble and to always keep business fundamentals in mind.

At $100M revenue you can upgrade "probably" to "absolutely" and "many" to "most".

Oh yes, definitely :D

Or you could, you know, Google the person, rather than making assumptions based on their name.

Which person are you referring to as an immigrant? I haven't found anything suggesting Pierre is an immigrant yet.

Pierre. That's because you didn't look hard enough, I guess?

Is there some idea you'd like to share?

Immigrants are a net positive for the economy!

In 1993, the California Republican Assembly (a conservative activist group chartered by the state party) passed a resolution declaring illegal immigration to be an economic positive for the state of California. A year later the party decided to go all-in on anti-immigration hysteria and paid for some disturbingly racist ads ("they keep coming"). This gave them short-term gains politically but by the 2010s the Republican party fell into permanent minority status with little prospect for even reaching the level to keep the democrats out of supermajority status in the near-term future.

You're right, first several articles on DDG didn't mention he is from South Africa.
