Frequently asked
What's a healthy month-over-month MRR growth rate?
Pre-PMF: anything > 0 is fine. Post-PMF early-stage SaaS: 10–15% MoM is YC-tier. Once you cross $1M ARR, 5–8% MoM (compounding to 80–150% YoY) is excellent.
Should I report MRR or ARR?
Investors above $1M ARR want ARR. Below $1M ARR, MoM MRR growth is the more honest signal because annualizing 1 month of revenue is statistically noisy.
