Introducing the WoW rule: A formula for growth for SaaS Startups

GitLab emphasizes the importance of setting specific growth targets and performance indicators to align expectations and measure success effectively. The text discusses various growth strategies for SaaS startups, highlighting the WoW Rule, which suggests a formula for revenue growth: Month over Month (MoM) growth equals 6% plus 14% divided by the last month's ARR in millions. It contrasts with the T2D3 rule, which involves tripling and doubling annual revenue, popularized by Neeraj Agarwal of Battery Ventures. The text also references advice from YC Combinator, which recommends aiming for 5-7% weekly growth, and explains how the WoW Rule suggests a slightly slower but steady growth trajectory to achieve similar results over time. The discussion includes milestones like reaching $100M and $1B ARR, emphasizing the consistent expectation of at least 6% monthly growth, while also mentioning the Hypergrowth rule for spending to sustain growth.
