Assessment

On October 25, 2021, Godard Abel (then-CEO of G2) stated that G2 aimed to cross $100 million in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) 'next year' (2022). G2 did not reach this milestone within the stated 2022 horizon. SaaS tracking data and corporate updates show G2 reached approximately $60 million in ARR by the end of 2022 (a material shortfall of ~40% against the target). G2 did not cross the $100 million ARR threshold until 2024, when it reached approximately $113 million ARR.

G2's actual 2022 revenue/ARR was reported at approximately $60 million by SaaS benchmark trackers such as GetLatka, well below the $100 million target.
In a January 25, 2023 review of 2022 performance, CEO Godard Abel acknowledged taming aggressive growth targets due to macroeconomic headwinds without announcing the $100 million milestone.
Independent tracking and retrospective coverage confirm G2 crossed $100 million ARR in 2024 (reaching ~$113 million), not in 2022.

Abel: Legacy software analysts don't use the software they evaluate

“You know, I said it's like a restaurant critic that literally can't eat the food, right? The analyst can't use the software, and they just stand outside the restaurant asking other people, how is your meal? And I'd rather ask the people eating the meal, right?…”
