New data for 2024. From SaaS Capital’s 13th annual survey of private B2B SaaS companies - Benchmarking Metrics for Bootstrapped SaaS Companies. Key takeaways for bootstrapped SaaS companies with $3M to $20M in ARR: - The median growth rate is 30% while those in the 90th percentile are growing by 75%. - The median Net Revenue Retention (NRR) is 100% while those in the 90th percentile report NRR of 120%. - The median gross revenue retention is 90% while those in the 90th percentile report gross retention of 98%. Growing from a pre-revenue startup to $3M (scale-up phase) marks a significant shift and bootstrapping from $3M to $20M creates enormous value for owners.

New data on the average deal size for private SaaS Companies. Key Takeaways: - The overall median Annual Contract Value (ACV) for private SaaS companies is $22,357. However, ACV varies significantly by company size, with larger companies generally having higher ACVs. - ACV grows with company size due to factors like product maturity, expanded offerings, and targeting larger customers. For example, companies with $1–$3M ARR have a median ACV of $21,583, while those with $5–$10M ARR show a median ACV of $33,704. - Higher Net Revenue Retention (NRR) correlates with higher ACVs, as successful upselling, price increases, and cross-selling drive growth. - Equity-backed SaaS companies have higher ACVs and ARR than bootstrapped companies.

New Data: What's Your SaaS Company Worth? - https://lnkd.in/dVq4V3C Updated for 2024, this white paper is written for entrepreneurs, angel investors, and the management teams of SaaS businesses. The intent of the paper is to describe the approach used by most professional investors and strategic buyers to value a SaaS company. We present a formula that predicts a specific ARR multiple for a valid baseline valuation, based upon a statistical analysis of over 10 years of data, and a sample Excel spreadsheet.

New Data: Private B2B SaaS Company Growth Rate Benchmarks - https://lnkd.in/dsh56Pke Key takeaways: ▪️ The median growth rate for all companies in the survey registered 30%. This is down from a population median of 35% in 2022 and puts growth closer to the pandemic levels seen in 2020. ▪️ Bootstrapped companies report median growth of 25%, down from 32% in 2022. Equity-backed companies reported median growth of 30%, down from 35% in 2022. ▪️ Growth rate is positively and exponentially correlated with net revenue retention. Increasing Net Revenue Retention (NRR) from the 90% to 100% range to the 100% to 110% range improves growth rate by 10 percentage points. ▪️ Continuing a pattern we have observed over the years, overall average annual contract value (ACV) levels do not appear to have an overall correlation with growth rate. The full research report provides growth benchmarks based on data from SaaS Capital’s 13th annual survey of more than 1,500 private, B2B SaaS companies. https://lnkd.in/dsh56Pke

We have updated our growth-stage B2B SaaS valuation methodology with our most recent private transactions.
We recently published an update to our valuation white paper, “What’s Your SaaS Company Worth?” Randall Lucas tested the model on 27 anonymized deals from 2024 and found that most fell within +/- 1.25x of the predicted ARR multiple. [Links in the comments]
