What is the Growth Stage?

The growth stage is a phase in a startup’s lifecycle where the company experiences rapid increases in revenue, customer acquisition, and market share. This stage typically follows the initial product-market fit and focuses on scaling the business to reach more customers and expand its market presence. Startups in this stage often seek additional funding to support their growth efforts.

Characteristics of the Growth Stage
