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?
