Aleksandr Yampolskiy: Lessons From Scaling SecurityScorecard from $1M to $10M in ARR
Manage episode 436597618 series 3595774
“What should the CEO focus on when scaling from $1M to $10M in ARR?”
Here’s what Alex Yampolskyi (Co-Founder & CEO at Security Scorecard) had to say:
“There’s no playbook for being a CEO. It’s about your unique strengths. For example, I suck at financial P&L modeling, but always ensure it’s validated by my team.
Your priorities as a leader constantly shift, sometimes from week to week.
However, I always spent much of my time on hiring - and still do. The rest I usually spent on product development and customer support, resulting in long hours.
The central advice is: Work backward. After a seed round, consider what investors expect next. When discussing Series A, reverse-engineer from the valuation.
And break your revenue targets down further. Understand your average contract size to calculate the necessary customers to reach your targets.
With a set revenue goal, establish your marketing pipeline. Reverse-engineer to know your lead generation needs. By reverse-engineering, you know how many leads you need to reach your target number of customers and, thus, your revenue targets.
Progressing from Series A to B is all about strategizing numbers in reverse.”
