Serial Entrepreneur, Author, and Marketing Leader Stijn Hendrikse talks about an important playbook for start ups, especially for Business to business Saas based businesses.

We found Stijn to be a combination of curiosity and grit, teaching others to run a successful start ups.

His book is T2D3: How some software startups scale, where many fail.

T2D3 is the playbook that B2B software companies use to get to $100 million in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR).

Every investor wants to hit the next "unicorn", but reaching that coveted $1B valuation in 5 years is challenging—and rare. Tripling your annual revenue for two years in a row only to double it three more years after that to reach $100M ARR doesn't happen by chance. Companies that follow this growth pattern share similar journeys that form the basis for this book.
