Entrepreneurs: How to increase your revenue? The T2D3 method or how to reach €100M in revenue

How do you reach €100M in revenue in 5 years? That’s the question every start-up is asking. We’ll show you how it’s possible!

Start-ups are all about scalability!

Revenue needs to grow exponentially! The "T2D3 growth path" (triple 2, double 3) method makes it possible to reach over €100 million in revenue in 5 years. The annual revenue multiples to hit are: x3, x3, x2, x2, x2.

A SaaS start-up generating €2 million in revenue in its first or second year could reach €144 million in 5 years, provided it hits those multiples.

‍

A few examples

The fastest start-ups manage to hit €100 million in revenue in under 3 years.

• It took Slack 2.5 years to reach $100 million!
• I think Sorare isn't far behind. :)
• In the past, the best companies (Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google, Facebook) took 5 years.
• It took Dropbox 8 years to reach $1 billion in revenue. 🚀 A SaaS start-up with €144 million in revenue is close to a $1 billion valuation. That’s often the milestone to aim for when targeting an IPO. The IPO is the Holy Grail! That moment when you ring the bell at the Nasdaq! Can't wait to see the Collison brothers from Stripe.

They are as follows:

3. Snapchat - 6 years (2017)
4. Dropbox - 11 years (2018)
5. Spotify - 12 years (2018)

That’s why start-ups are so fascinating!

But there are few chosen ones.
