• \1 The market favors high-growth SaaS companies again as venture capital shifts back to growth-focused investments after the AI bubble cools. Growth rates remain a key valuation driver despite economic headwinds[1].
• \1 SaaS startups secured 47% of all venture capital funding in 2023, up from 36% in 2019, indicating sustained investor confidence. Emerging markets like China, India, and Brazil are expected to more than double their SaaS sectors by 2025, fueling funding activity[3].
• \1 Median ARR growth rates have declined to about 26% overall, with top quartile growth slowing from 60% in 2023 to 50% in 2024. Bootstrapped SaaS companies with $3M–$20M ARR show a median growth of 20%, with top performers at 51% growth[2][5].

• \1 Usage-based pricing is increasingly adopted alongside traditional per-seat models, driven by customer demand for flexibility and alignment with value delivered, though exact percentages are not specified in current data.
• \1 New CAC ratios have risen by 14% in 2024, reflecting higher costs to acquire new customers. However, blended CAC ratios decreased by 10% due to a higher proportion of expansion ARR versus new ARR[2].
• \1 Median gross revenue retention (GRR) for bootstrapped SaaS companies is steady at 92%, with top performers at 98%, indicating relatively stable churn rates. Net Revenue Retention (NRR) median is 104%, showing modest expansion within existing customers[5].

• \1 No specific company metrics were reported today.
• \1 No new unicorn valuations or milestones were announced today in the available data.
• \1 ARR per full-time employee (FTE) continues to climb, reaching $200,000 in companies with $50M–$100M ARR, highlighting improving operational efficiency[2]. Net Revenue Retention challenges persist as companies increasingly rely on expansion ARR, with NRR around 101% industry-wide[2].

This snapshot reflects a SaaS industry balancing slower growth with improved unit economics and a renewed investor focus on scalable growth backed by solid fundamentals[1][2][5].
