Centaur

Also called 100M ARR Club

A SaaS company that has reached 100 million dollars in annual recurring revenue. A newer benchmark focused on real revenue rather than private valuation.

Why it matters

The centaur milestone shifts the bragging rights from valuation to durable revenue, which many argue is the truer measure of a software business. Reaching 100 million ARR marks a company that has genuinely scaled, not just raised.

For example

A SaaS startup crosses 100 crore in ARR and joins the 'centaur' club, a milestone based on real revenue rather than a private valuation.
