I have worked in a couple of early stage growth businesses and to go from $15 to $120M revenues is possible in 8-10 years and ending up with about 65 staff.
To get a 50% revenue growth rate for 10 years would be a bit of a stretch, I would think.
Whenever looking at a business there are always two factors.
- Revenue multiples and what the accountants believe it is worth
- No revenue and what the market attributes to blue sky potential
In the short term No. 2 will give the greatest return, just make sure you hop out before the blue sky turns to gray.
