10% MoM compounds to 3.1x in a year. 20% MoM compounds to 8.9x.

The formula

Months equals natural log of (target / current) divided by natural log of (1 + monthly growth rate).

FAQ

What is T2D3?+

A benchmark growth trajectory from Neeraj Agrawal: after $1M ARR, triple (Y1), triple (Y2), double (Y3), double (Y4), double (Y5) to reach $100M.

Is compound monthly growth realistic?+

For short horizons at seed scale, yes. Compounding at 15% MoM for 24 months is not, because sales cycles lengthen with ACV.

How do I convert annual to monthly growth?+

Monthly growth equals (1 + annual)^(1/12) minus 1. 100% annual is roughly 5.9% monthly.

Should I use gross or net MRR?+

Net (new + expansion − churn − contraction) is what runway consumers see. Gross overstates.

Why is my target month "Never"?+

Because growth is zero or negative and your target is above current MRR. Increase the growth rate.
