Agenda & Discussion Notes
2.1
Q4 2025 Performance Review
Jordan presented Q4 results. Revenue of $4.2M exceeded target by 18%. ARR now at $17.8M, up from $13.1M YoY. Churn rate improved from 3.1% to 2.4%. Sarah noted the API v3 launch contributed significantly to enterprise upsell. Nina flagged that COGS increased 8% due to infrastructure scaling — to be addressed in Q1 budget review.
10:05–10:30

Q1 2026 OKR Setting
Team reviewed proposed OKRs. Key debate: Marcus pushed for $22M ARR target; Nina recommended conservative $20M given market uncertainty. Decision: $21M ARR as primary KR, with $22M as stretch. Product OKRs agreed: ship AI assistant by end of Q2, reduce onboarding time to under 4 days. Sales to focus on enterprise (ACV > $50K) with target of 15 new enterprise logos.

Approved 8 new hires: 3 engineers (Sarah's team), 2 AEs (Aisha's team), 1 designer, 1 marketing manager, 1 customer success manager. Total budget impact: $1.1M annualized. Tom flagged need for senior PM role — Jordan to follow up separately. Hiring kick-off targeted for April 1.
