Zapier is doing amazing, but it would be a few more years to IPO. They announced 35M in ARR in January. Probably need to get that over 200 to IPO.

They're not going to get to 200 unless:

- Better enterprise marketing. - Increase depth of existing integrations. - Add additional Zapier-hosted zaps.

I'm a very happy Zapier user and fan, but my sense is they need to hire a few seasoned senior people to level up. I may be wrong, just my sense.

Where did they announce revenue?
Very impressive! Annual Run Rate is different from ARR though. Annual Run Rate is probably just taking one (or a few) months, and extrapolate that to a year.

Still great progress for having raised to little though.

> Annual Run Rate is different from ARR though

What exactly does ARR mean if not Annual Run Rate?

Annual recurring revenue
Annual Run Rate.

I'm just adding this for posterity since there 3 completely different yet acceptable definitions of ARR, so telling someone they are "wrong" for not using the same definition as you is a tad silly.

It's something that pirates say.
Agreed, sharp founding team.
