Many scale-ups and startups struggle to maintain venture-scale growth.
When unable to achieve venture-scale growth, it is advisable to aim for Private Equity (PE) levels of growth.
PE track involves reaching $20m or more in ARR, maintaining 100% or higher Net Revenue Retention (NRR), achieving 30% or higher revenue growth, and being profitable, break-even, or close.
At this level, many PE firms may be interested in acquiring the company, providing an alternative exit opportunity.
