Interesting. I've always heard that $100k MRR is the minimum metric for an A but I guess that only applies to SaaS companies. Looking forward to hearing about YCA
It isn't even true there. This is one of the common misconceptions that show up in blogs. There's no such thing as a minimum metric for an A - SaaS or otherwise.
We got an A with way less MRR because of who we had sold to. The quoted MRR figures may be approximately correct for b2c or for b2b for smb customers. For b2b enterprise customers, you can raise on way less. And you'll have to given you have 6-12 month sales cycles.
