But investors in private companies use a different metric, enterprise value to forward annual recurring revenue (ARR).The In 2017 and 2018, the median high-growth private company raised at a higher forward ARR multiple than in the public markets. The private markets project the ARR a year from now.

To put the company’s stellar trajectory in context, I’ve plotted its metrics relative to two other incredible monitoring companies: NewRelic (NEWR) and AppDynamics (APPD). in 2017, the day before their IPO.

First $100k customer in 2017. This is an interesting segmentation of core metrics. While GitLab has 15,356 customers as of July 2021, it focuses its metrics on its 3,600+ ones with an ACV of $5k or more. While this makes sense as their core persona and area of growth, it also flatters a lot of the metrics like NRR, etc.
