🚀 $100M ARR achieved — How Semperis built a centaur strategy to scale.

Semperis went from $0 → $3M ARR in 5 years, then $3M → $100M in the next 5. What drove this breakout growth? Managing Director Teddie Wardi shares his thoughts on the main drivers of its success:

🔹 Culture fuels growth: Semperis built a mission-driven team that attracts top talent and drives long-term success
