The Startup Playbook: $1M to $10M ARR in 2 Years

Description:

Holding the 19th spot on Inc. 5000’s list of fastest-growing private companies, Linksquares quickly scaled from $1M to $10M ARR in just two years. While rapid growth is a goal for most startups, it can also result in failure if not navigated properly. In this session, Vishal Sunak, who co-founded the company and has been CEO since its inception, shares the founder’s perspective of quickly scaling the company from $1M to $10M in ARR. He’ll give actionable takeaways to other founders/executives on successfully navigating rapid growth and the metrics (and milestones) that matter most when quickly scaling operations. Come hear all of the challenges, lessons, triumphs, and failures along the journey to $10M ARR.
