Startups are a long game. Here’s what the data says: - Only 4% ever reach $1M ARR - Just 0.4% make it to $10M - 3+ years to hit $1M ARR on average - Most exits take 7+ years If you're struggling, you're in good company. Every founder who made it started with: No revenue. No traction. No playbook. They just kept building. So please keep going.
