PLEASE please implement this into your GTM if you haven't. Honestly, even with or without Clay -- definition of leaving value on the table, otherwise.

$10M ARR is the FU MONEY of SaaS.
At $10M ARR bootstrapped, you and your co-founder clear $1M+/year in salary and dividends easily.
You can sell instantly for $30-40M. There are hundreds of EBITDA buyers at this level vs. a handful at $1B valuations.
From here, you can do whatever you want.
Hire a CEO and work 1 hour/week. Grind 100 hours if that's your thing. Raise $50M from a position of strength. Scale to $25M ARR with 25 people and pay yourself $10-15M/year.
Most companies never get here because VCs show up early with decacorn dreams and money you don't need.
That capital interferes with the one thing that makes you great: product-market fit.
Bootstrapping to $10M ARR is easier and less risky than creating a VC-backed unicorn, with a far higher probability-weighted outcome.
If you can find PMF and use customer money to get to $10M, you can do anything you want with your life.

Being enlightened—in the Buddhist sense of the word—is a sort of calamity, because you found out the ruse which you were playing on yourself: you found out that the universe is a system which creeps up on itself and says BOO! and then laughs at itself for jumping.
In other words, it is a self-surprising arrangement so as to avoid the monotony and boredom of knowing everything in advance. So you and I have all conspired with ourselves to pretend that we’re not really God—but of course we are! That’s perfectly obvious! We’re all apertures through which the universe is looking at itself.

Never fuck over someone who is in founder mode.
The chip on the shoulder will never fade, and their revenge arc will be on an order of magnitude you could have never imagined.
