Refer to Article 11-02(b)(4)(i) of Regulation S-X.

The Company also respectfully advises the Staff that its pro forma financial information will be provided in a subsequent amendment to the Draft Registration Statement.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Key Metrics and Other Non-GAAP Financial Measures, page 69

11.We note that your net dollar retention rate excludes involuntary cancellations. Please tell us the net dollar retention rate for each period including both voluntary and involuntary cancellations and your consideration to disclose such amounts particularly considering the difference between your churn and adjusted churn rates.

RESPONSE: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that Net Dollar Retention Rate (inclusive of involuntary terminations) was 117.9% and 103.1% as of June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. The Company also advises the Staff that Net Dollar Retention Rate (exclusive of involuntary terminations) was 122.4% and 109.8% as of June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. The Company respectfully informs the Staff that the Company ultimately concluded that inclusion of involuntary terminations in the metric is not reflective of its ability to retain clients or grow revenues within existing client accounts, which is why this was not disclosed.

12.We note your adjustment to add back payments for management incentive awards, which appears to relate to repurchases of Award Units. Please tell us how you considered Question 100.01 of the Non-GAAP C&DIs with regards to whether such payments are normal, recurring cash operating expenses necessary to operate your business.

RESPONSE: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that it considers Rule 100(b) of Regulation G and Question 100.01 of the Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations (“CD&I”) on Non-GAAP Financial Measures when excluding an item from Adjusted EBITDA. The Company does not believe that the adjustment for the repurchase of management incentive awards is misleading or is inappropriately adjusting for normal, recurring, cash operating expenses to operate the Company’s business.

As further described in Note 10 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Amendment No.1, the Company has a Change in Control Bonus Plan (the “Plan”) under which the Company grants Management


Incentive Award Units (“Award Units”) to certain members of management (“Participants”). Upon a change in control transaction (i.e., a liquidity event), the Company makes a cash bonus payment to Participants based on the number of Award Units held by each Participant.

In 2019 and 2020, the Company made a discretionary election to repurchase certain Award Units from Participants upon the entry into the Credit Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank for a term loan and revolving debt facility (the “Credit Agreement”) and the issuance of the Class D Units, respectively. Neither the entry into the Credit Agreement nor the issuance of the Class D Units represented a change in control event triggering a cash bonus payment under the Plan. In addition, the Company repurchased certain Award Units from one Participant as part of a negotiated separation arrangement in June 2021.

Although the Company elected to repurchase certain Award Units under the specified circumstances noted above, the Company does not have plans to repurchase Award Units in the future outside of a change in control event, and thus views these as non-recurring expenses after this offering. Further, these payments are not necessary for the operation of the Company’s core business, and are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing core operating performance. Accordingly, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that it believes it is appropriate to remove these payments when calculating Adjusted EBITDA.

Due to the infrequent nature of these discretionary repurchases and the fact that the Company does not anticipate repurchasing Award Units in the future, the Company believes that excluding these expenses from the non-GAAP financial measures is useful to both management and investors because it facilitates comparability of period to period results, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s core operating performance, and does not result in the non-GAAP measures being misleading. The Company further advises the Staff that management does not include such bonuses in its evaluation of the Company’s historical performance.

Results of Operations
Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, page 71

13.You disclose that the increase in platform subscription revenues in 2020 was primarily driven by an increase in the number of total clients, as well as increased revenues generated from existing clients. Please revise to quantify the relative contribution of each of these factors. In addition, you should remove vague terms such as "primarily" in favor of specific quantification. Refer to Item 303 of Regulation S-K and Section III.D of SEC Release No. 33-6835.

RESPONSE: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised its disclosure on pages 74 and 75 to describe the percentage of the increase in platform subscription revenue that was attributable to existing customers versus new customers. Additionally, the Company has reviewed Item 303 of Regulation S-K and Section III.D of SEC Release No. 33-6835 and in accordance with this guidance has removed the word “primarily” in various portions of the “Results of Operations” section of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in favor of specific quantification.

14.You refer to the increase in headcount as a contributor to the increase in various expense line items. Please revise to disclose the specific changes in, and additions to, headcount that contributed to the increase in each expense. In addition, revise your risk factor disclosures on page 22 to disclose the total number of employees as of December 31, 2019.

RESPONSE: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure on pages 23 and 74 of Amendment No. 1 to address the Staff’s comment.

Description of Capital Stock
Choice of Forum, page 113

15.Please ensure that your exclusive forum disclosure here is consistent with your risk factor disclosure on page 42 and the provisions in your governing documents. In this regard, we note that the risk factor states

that these provisions will be located in your amended and restated certificate of incorporation while disclosure here states that the provisions will be in the bylaws. Additionally, in light of the federal exclusive forum provision for Securities Act claims, please revise to state that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

RESPONSE: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure on pages 43 and 44 of Amendment No. 1 to address the Staff’s comment.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2. Principals of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation Segments, page F-11

16.Please revise to disclose the amount of revenue from external customers attributable to the United States.

Explain further why the company repurchased Award Units in conjunction with the issuance of Series C-2 and Series D Preferred Units and clarify how the repurchase price and related compensation expense was determined.
Tell us whether the Reorganization or Offering Transaction will qualify as a change in control liquidity event that will trigger the cash bonus payment, and if so, revise to disclose the amount of expense that will be recorded upon consummation of such Transactions and ensure you have included the necessary adjustments in your pro forma financial statements. Alternatively, revise to clarify what will happen to these awards upon consummation of this offering.

RESPONSE: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comments and advises the Staff that it has revised its disclosures on page F-21 of Amendment No. 1 to address the Staff’s comment. The Company informs the Staff that the repurchase of Award Units was offered to certain members of senior management. The repurchase price and associated compensation expense was calculated in accordance with the per Unit price for each private equity transaction disclosed in Note 9 on page F-19 of Amendment No. 1. In addition, the Company informs the Staff that the Reorganization or Offering Transaction will not qualify as a change in control that will trigger a cash bonus payment. As such, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that it will revise its disclosure to clarify what will happen to these


awards upon consummation of this offering. The Company also advises the Staff that the Company is evaluating potential alternative scenarios to enact upon consummation of this offering and will revise the disclosure accordingly in a subsequent amendment to the Draft Registration Statement.
