I suppose the difference is "during YC" vs "leading up to a Series A"? What are good numbers?
- dchuk 12y agoWell pg is talking about weekly growth, not monthly: "A good growth rate during YC is 5-7% a week. If you can hit 10% a week you're doing exceptionally well. If you can only manage 1%, it's a sign you haven't yet figured out what you're doing."
- kenferry 12y agoOop, yep, thanks!
- applecore 12y agoFounders should aim for 15%+ monthly growth in MRR if they want to raise a Series A within a reasonable time after raising seed capital.
