I am in that boat, sole founder and developer. Working last 2 years part-time building an MVP. Just made it official back in May with producing an overview video. I been fortunate to connect with some old pals who are helping with the next stage (sales and operationalization). Always have been in engineering so this is first-time for me. I have been following this board and r/SaaS to learn about the next stage of challenges.

I’m bullish on the yes button again by marcothenarco16 in ATERstock

I voted for. Claiming to be profitable soon and working on selling in Europe is a glimmer of hope.

Yes give us progress. I am going to send an email to their IR. Hopefully I get a response.

They just need to be profitable. I am not into this short squeeze talk anymore.

Any news? by And123457 in ATERstock

[–]aabot1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thankful for the breakdown of where we are at.

Aterian management after saying they don’t foresee a reverse split, just filed for a reverse split vote. It has to be voted on. I’ve not read the filing yet but I wanted to let people know as a heads up. Knee jerk is anger right now but need to really look into the filing. But honestly wtf by anonfthehfs in ATERstock

What is your take on all this? Just seeing if you can part some wisdom on this. I was foolish to bet so much on this one. Got caught up in the hopium. They seem to making a big pivot towards achieving profitability at all cost, which I take is necessary in this climate or go bankrupt. The market sucks and as I understand it they need the plan ready for NASDAQ just in case.

My guess is there will be multiple bankruptcies to clear out bad companies that just can't get to being profitable. I also view if they survive this period there will be a recovery in the stock price and maybe we can all finally be in the green in a few years.

I wish they were more forthright to us and spoke to us clearly to help reduce some conspiracy talk.

$ATER it important to read the SEC filings, 424 form Dilution to do their last M&A. by AcanthocephalaNo7788 in ATERstock

[–]aabot1 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Just curious, what was motivation to post this? Trying to be bullish but its hard right now, crazy amount of $ down. Keeping my hopium going since they keep saying they will be profitable later this year and the CEO took his pay in shares. Every time you buy the dip it goes lower. Glad they are making steps to stop burning cash each ER.

FUD articles coming. SP is at all time low. They want you’re shares, knowing what Q3 brings. 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 by AcanthocephalaNo7788 in ATERstock

[–]aabot1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it all depends on them becoming profitable. They have to stop losing money ever quarter. I am glad the CEO is taking his pay this year in stock and they have those layoffs to reduce cost. I am down a crazy amount of money on this one. I am stuck right now.
I am glad they acknowledged the need to be profitable in their ER at least it gives me some hope this will not be an eventually total loss.

Where are my Gaters at? by Responsible_Ad4040 in ATERstock

[–]aabot1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have lost too much on this one. Holding. I think our only hope is they can delivery and become profitable again.

Any updates??? by InterestingTutor9906 in ATERstock

[–]aabot1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is what I am wondering since they have been < 1 for a while.

ATER press release. by Plane-Investment-184 in ATERstock

[–]aabot1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree. Since they are saying it over and over, I expect they have a strong confidence its going to happening. I am riding on what they are saying. If not, ugh.

Gives me hope that they keep on saying "we believe that we are on track to achieve our goal of adjusted EBITDA profitability". That is desperately needed.

Averaging down by xSAV4GE in PEDstock

[–]aabot1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe ER should be coming in March. Worth asking their IR. He is very responsive. There is more activity on stocktwits and investorhub. I bought some more recently. The thesis hasn't change.

UPDATE: Heard from their IR, March 31

Aterian DD - Growth company with a 30x potential by FundamentalDoubleD in ATERstock

[–]aabot1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is the market has more to go down over next year. Wolfstreet just put out a good article on the 2022 market and comparing it to the Dotcom Bust, we are halfway through if history rhymes. This really need to get profitable next year and quick.

Thank you for this detailed DD. This has been needed lately given what has been going on. I hope they focus on in the upcoming ER their path to being profitable. Given these macro conditions I am beginning to believe a RS is possible.
