Assessment

In a March 2016 interview, then-VP of Business Development Jared Fuller claimed PandaDoc would reach a $10 million ARR run rate by December 2016. However, subsequent disclosures by Fuller himself and company performance records show that PandaDoc grew from approximately $1 million to $5 million ARR in 2016, and did not approach or cross the $10 million ARR milestone until 2017. Because the stated deadline of December 2016 was missed by roughly 50%, the claim is false.

In an August 2016 interview on the Growth Everywhere podcast, Jared Fuller stated PandaDoc had grown from ~$1 million to $5 million ARR over the prior year.
In a December 2017 retrospective published by Freshsales, Fuller confirmed that PandaDoc finished 2016 at $5 million ARR and was reaching the $10 million ARR milestone in 2017.
