Rule of 40

TL;DR

The Rule of 40 says a healthy SaaS company's revenue growth rate plus profit margin should be at least 40%. A company growing 30% with a 10% margin meets it.

How SaaStorm approaches it

The Rule of 40 is why efficient growth channels matter. Organic search can add growth without the same cost increase as paid acquisition.

We use it to frame organic investment for leadership teams balancing growth and efficiency.
