Today, Rippling announced $200M in funding at a $13.4B valuation. In 2023, the company had ~$350M in ARR. But back in 2019 at ~$3M ARR, the team put out a Series A memo laying out everything they wanted to accomplish. Here’s how they’ve stacked up to their own expectations…

reading friends’ grad reflections is making me tear up 🥹 its really happening we’re all growing up
Every time I see a Seed deck that says their raise should last them 18 months (meaning they need to fundraise before that) - I think of charts like this. The new reality is that startups need to be leaner and more efficient. Plan for 3 years.
Will you go from a priced seed round to Series A in under 2 years? If you raised your seed in 2018, 25% of companies made it to A in under 2 yrs. If you raised the seed in 2020, 36% made it to A. But now it's much harder. Only 12% of Q1 2022 seeds have made it to A so far.
