The less sensational title: Revenue alone doesn't matter, you have to consider it in context.

If the question is purely, "What is a ballpark MRR for a Series A SaaS company?", this is a helpful thread: http://www.quora.com/Software-as-a-Service-SaaS/What-are-ave...

Wow, the top post in that quora topic says $2M in ARR for an unproven team before they get any VC money. That seems kinda high to me. I feel like the team's proven themselves after a couple hundred grand of annual revenue.
"A couple hundred grand" is what a freelancer who charges well makes in a year.
Yea but we're talking about a company with a business model that isn't "freelancing". I'm assuming a few hundred thousand dollars isn't the upper bound like it would be for a freelancer.
