I think nowadays a lot of people are seeing that, large and small companies.

And of course, a lot of people want to grow anyway, whether it's slowing or not.

So it's just a useful thing anyway.

It's going to be good.

It was fun.

Thanks.

We got to 100 million in a little less than seven years, and we hired a CEO, and it was the second best decision I've ever made.

All right.

My name is Jason.

I started WP Engine 14 years ago.

We have hundreds of millions in ARR.

I'm going to share with you some lessons that I learned along the way in doing that.

You probably know me online, though, as the smart bear, so hence that.

So we got to 1 million ARR in our first 18 months, which is pretty good.

I thought maybe already the company could just grow like that.

But then in 2012, our growth rate shot up again.

We went from 1 million to 5 million in one year.

And as you can see, it never ended.

We got to 100 million in something like a little less than seven years.

This little flat part at the beginning, that was that previous chart, right?
