2003 Early Stage PR Revenue 
Both Sides of the Table
APRIL 4, 2011
I ran my first marathon in London this way in 2003 raising $3,000 for Parkinson’s disease (and finishing in under 4 hours – my publicly stated goal). Because it can be hard to define or agree company objectives at an early stage I believe most people avoid them. Revenue Metrics. I like to think of revenue drivers.

These are areas that may be gaps in the portfolio of large companies, and are perfect for M&A deals in three to five years after building enough validation and $10-$20 million in revenue. Raymond has built a nice business through efficient distribution deals and will do about $250,000 in revenue this year. This is her core market.

We Changed Our Mind In 1966, 10 years after Hewlett’s memo, Hewlett Packard’s revenue and headcount had grown ten fold; $200 million and 11,000 employees – all from test and measurement equipment. I have no personal knowledge of computers nor does anyone in our organization have any appreciable knowledge.

Posted by: Matt | September 10, 2007 9:43 AM Hmm, our current startup (now doing more than 1M/year) was bootstrapped for its first year on just 1500$ (and with that we grew revenue to 25K/month). If our aim was to raise financing and employ these people directly, we’d have burnt through $5-7 million before launch.

Great PR and finance firms, but not many startups. In 2003 Electronic Arts actually moved their headquarters from Silicon Valley to Playa Vista, an crazy move at the time, and accelerated their growth as a result. If you plop your company here, great things could happen. Houses were cheaper, you couldn’t get good engineers, etc.

After years working in fashion PR/Marketing in NYC and Milan, and then as a co-founder/owner of a Brooklyn-based rock ’n’ roll play space for kids under 5, I found myself becoming overly excited about my friends starting new businesses. I started my home-buying business in 2003 with a personal net worth of negative $80,000.
