Opening Benchling B deck showed the build. Approx 5yrs to 1M, then 1 to 100 in the next 5. Along the way let go of some customers in adjacent non core areas (repeatability over revs). Patient to let early adopters pull us and the product with them as they grew in a new market.

Early on I think it's more important to have a top 10 target list than a revenue goal (ideally both). Many don't give much thought to who they close but your early customers feed your product roadmap, provide unique insights and shape the direction of your future.

Startups don't need to wait to succeed at brand marketing. Focus on your segment, be thoughtful, invest early and you can shine. Lattice's virtual conference had 20k unique attendees. Atlasssian had 30k and Hubspot 65k; both are orders of magnitude bigger on any other metric.

Jack Altman

I think most startups underinvest in brand marketing. There’s a lot of value to seeming bigger than you are, keeping a constant drumbeat of awareness, building communities, and telling compelling stories. Often underinvested in because people focus too much on short term ROI.

The growth at @ModernTreasury is simply remarkable. 20x volume growth in 2021 to $2B per month, accelerating from 10x growth in 2020. Excited to watch this exceptional team continue to execute, now with their $85M Series C that values them at over $2B.

Thrive and Benchmark have a rich history of collaboration, dating back to Instagram in 2012. It stems from a shared focus on supporting exceptional product-led teams with tenacious ambition, and I’m excited for many more collaborations ahead.

This is a fun little fact from the Uber S1: "Over the same period (2018), we generated 15% of our Ridesharing Gross Bookings from trips that either started or were completed at an airport, and we expect this percentage to increase in the future."

Hey @AskHalifaxBank 👋 It's great to see your updated brand identity, but it looks like you forgot to update couple of things. The card in the photo still displays the @monzo BIN (5355 22) and the name of one of our staff members... 😉

16/ Yes, a bunch of further caveats e.g., macro, currency and political risks. Also not clear which will have a larger TAM (US 2x population but also ~3x car ownership per capita). But back of the envelope, pretty compelling!
