🛫 This week we hit the ground running as Ryan Sanders jetted off over the weekend to Vail for KeyBanc Capital Markets' Technology Leadership Forum, and Josh Christensen made his way to Southern California, where you can find him all week connecting with founders and ecosystem friends (reach out to him while he's in town and say 'hi' 👋). Meanwhile, Joe Kaiser heads east to Chicago tomorrow for a filming session with Cylinder CEO Bill Snyder ahead of our Annual Meeting in September. As always, we'd love to hear from you if we find ourselves in your neighborhood!

The growth model is one of 6 different scientific models that govern recurring revenue, and is, specifically, used to develop an understanding of what stage a business is in, and at what point it should move to the next stage to accelerate growth and scale. As the first step to better revenue forecasting using this growth model, you’ll need to understand 5 key inputs about a company: 1. Growth Pattern ▶ Linear ▶ Exponential or J-curve ▶ Logarithmic ▶ S-curve (Logistic) ▶ Bell Curve 2. Growth Rate (CAGR) ▶ Normal (0-10%) ▶ Rapid (10-20%) ▶ Hyper (20-40%) ▶ Double (100%) ▶ Triple (200%) ▶ Blitzscaling (>1000%) 3. Growth Stages ▶ Startup – Find out what works ▶ Scaleup – Do what works effectively, and do it efficiently ▶ Growup – Win the right customers ▶ Enterprise – Expand the market or increase profitability 4. Growth Funding In addition to understand how funding aligns to the stages of Product Market Fit, Go To Market Fit, and ScaleUp Fit, it’s important to also understand the probability of funding at each stage. Of the companies who successfully secure seed funding* only: ▶ 45% raise an A round ▶ 27% raise a B round ▶ 14% raise a C round ▶ 6% raise a D round ▶ 1% IPO *based on seed funding of $3MM 5. Growth Trend By using historical CAGR data and the understanding the denominator effect (aka the natural decay of growth over time), you leverage a company’s current growth trend to better predict future growth. #mercatocompass
