Ehsan's Analysis
The ARR benchmarks for MarTech at Series A have shifted dramatically since 2024. Investors now demand 2.5x growth at Series A and 2x at Series B, up from 2x and 1.5x respectively. The bar is higher but so is the prize: top-decile companies at these rates are raising at 20x+ forward multiples. Efficiency matters more than raw velocity now.
