It took us two years to grow from $10 mm to $100 mm in Annual Recurring Revenue and 15 months to reach $200 mm. Nine months later, we crossed $300 mm. Vanta’s growth rate increased each of the past four quarters – compounding really is the eighth wonder of the world! “But wait,” you might be thinking. “How does a software company founded before 2022 *increase* its growth rate?” Narrative violation!

Why are startups bad at security? 🤔 B/c if a startup cares about security before product market fit they’re doing it wrong. In the beginning there isn’t a lot to lose, but don’t fall into the trap of not investing early enough 👏 @mattspitz @TrustVanta ow.ly/VK8x50LG8Ki
