专注于OKR的Gtmhub在2020年增长3倍后筹集了3000万美元的B轮融资

今天上午，跨国公司Gtmhub致力于开发软件来帮助其他公司管理公司计划，该公司宣布已筹集了3,000万美元的B轮融资。本轮融资由Insight领投，新投资者Singular和之前的LauncHub以及CRV。 Gtmhub大约在13个月前筹集了900万美元的A轮融资。当时，新资金超过了之前的融资总额。这家初创公司的新一轮融资（如其2019年A轮融资）以类似的方式高出其先前的融资总额。 Gtmhub如何筹集了这么多钱？总之，增长。 TechCrunch在其A轮融资时报告说，Gtmhub的年度经常性收入（ARR）同比增长了400％。 Gtmhub首席运营官塞思·埃利奥特（Gethmhub首席运营官塞思·埃利奥特（Seth Elliott）告诉TechCrunch，该公司的ARR去年增长了三倍（从2019年12月到2020年12月）。 在Gtmhub在2019年筹集资金的同时，也有许多其他初创公司也专注于同一软件市场，导致TechCrunch询问“为什么每个人都在开发OKR软件？” OKR的首字母缩写翻译为“目标和关键结果”，这是一种计划方法，已在美国科技公司中流行，并且据Elliott称，在国际上和非科技公司中也越来越流行。 这位初创公司高管还告诉TechCrunch，他认为Gtmhub伴随着两种业务趋势而增长。他告诉TechCrunch，首先是OKR本身的崛起，这是他的公司乘风破浪的一年。第二个是他认为自己的创业公司处于领先地位的公司，它与追求公司转型以提高敏捷性的大公司打交道；他说，这些公司正在采用Gtmhub，这可以帮助他们成功地进行数字化转型或类似的努力。

原文：This morning Gtmhub, a multinational startup that builds software to help other companies manage their corporate planning, announced that it has raised a $30 million Series B. The round was led by Insight, and included both participation from new investor Singular and prior investors LauncHub and CRV.

Gtmhub  raised capital around 13 months ago, a $9 million Series A. At the time, the new capital was larger than the aggregate of its preceding funding efforts. The startup’s new funding round, like its 2019 Series A, towers above its prior fundraising totals in a similar manner.

How has Gtmhub managed to raise so much money? In a word, growth.

TechCrunch reported at the time of its Series A that Gtmhub had managed 400% growth in annual recurring revenue (ARR) heading into the round, on a year-over-year basis. Similar levels of topline expansion have continued, with Gtmhub COO Seth Elliott telling TechCrunch that the company grew its ARR by a multiple of three last year (measured December 2019 through December 2020).

Around the time Gtmhub raised in 2019, a number of other startups focused on the same software market raised as well, leading to TechCrunch asking “why is everyone making OKR software?”

The acronym OKR translates to “objectives and key results,” a planning method that has become popular among American technology firms, and, according to Elliott, is becoming more popular internationally and among non-technology companies.

The startup executive also told TechCrunch that he sees Gtmhub growing alongside two business trends. The first, the rise of OKRs themselves, is a wave that his company is riding, he told TechCrunch. The second, one that he thinks his startup is leading, deals with large companies pursuing corporate transformations to boost their agility; those firms are adopting Gtmhub, he said, which can help them execute their digital transformation, or similar efforts, successfully.
