AppFolio, a provider of cloud-based software for the property management industry, continued to exceed expectations significantly in the first quarter. Appfolio has done an exceptional job accelerating revenue and ramping up profitability. Even with higher margins, AppFolio has accelerated R&D investments to drive successful product development and push increasingly into competing upmarket, a segment they have not historically served. In our view, this activity could create a greater runway for revenue and profit growth."
