High Growth Rates Really Matter
SaaS companies have valuations more than double enterprise firms AND SaaS
companies with +20% growth rate are double their lower growth rate peers
SaaS companies should focus on getting MRR (monthly recurring revenue) growth rate above 10%
while ‘enterprise evolvers’ should aim to show rapid growth in % of SaaS revenue
