Bessemer Venture Partners’ Post

🚀 Our early-stage guide is out now! The founder's playbook for scaling to $1 million ARR. Reaching $1M ARR isn’t just a vital revenue milestone for your startup — it’s proof you’ve moved from idea to execution. It’s your first real validation that customers need what you’re building and that you can acquire and retain them. But here’s the catch: there’s no one-size-fits-all playbook. That's why we've distilled the strategies, tactics, and hiring insights to help entrepreneurs reach their very first million in revenue, thanks to the expertise of Operating Partner Tony Rodoni, Anthropic's Head of Revenue Kate Jensen, and 4x founder Paul Fifield. Early-stage sales can be messy. You, the founder, are the first and best salesperson. And you’re not just selling a product — you’re selling a vision. Get our guide today. ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/gbr8dVzQ #TechonLinkedIn #venturecapital #entrepreneurship #vc #sales

Hitting $1M ARR is a huge validation, but the path there is rarely linear. Always interesting to see different strategies that have worked for founders.

Loved the insight and best practices from Paul Fifield and Kate Jensen. Seems obvious but they reinforce the first million is the hardest million!
