Over the past few years Net Revenue Retention (NRR) has become the north star metric for tech companies. You read about it in press releases when a company fundraises or goes public, investors want to drill down into any company they meet to understand not just ARR but NRR, and CSMs now look beyond churn and renewal to be NRR engines for growth. We thought it was time to take a step back and review where NRR has come from, where it is, and most importantly, how you should approach it when scaling your business.
