IM8 revenue growth is accelerating sharply (33% sequential quarterly guidance) with expanding gross margins and strong cash position. The raised guidance and record monthly revenue in May support the growth thesis. Watch Q2 actuals against $46-48M guidance for confirmation of trajectory; the shift to quarterly subscriptions increases average order value and upfront cash flow.
