Funding Raised
AnnualRecurringRevenue(ARR)
If you’ve raised less than $1m
Focus on using that to hit
$2m in ARR before next round.
Companies with $100m+ raised
Are on IPO path and should be
Working towards 1:1 ARR:Funding
Ratio for a successful IPO
If you’ve committed to $10m+
raised, you have no choice but
To be on venture “exit” track.
Min 70% yoy growth.
Focus on growing valuation
So when $1m convertible notes
Convert in first priced equity
round, you take least dilution.
