@Calendly is quickly becoming is the raised just $550K before hitting $60M ARR and a $3B valuation. Some still see it as "just a feature", but what @Calendly is quickly becoming is the @DocuSign. ($43B market cap) of scheduling. there are some striking similarities between Calendly and DocuSign: - Both were first seen as narrow products - Both grew cheaply and organically - Both dominated the market for a ubiquitous need - Both are quiet cash machines Calendly is actually growing faster than DocuSign did. Calendly hit $60M ARR last year, $70M in December, and they’re on track to crack $100M by August—more than 4 years faster than DocuSign. Calendly took the kind of scheduling software used by spas and salons and designed it for consumers. The counterintuitive insight that set Calendly apart was this kind of software could be useful for anyone doing business. The product spread and gained users quickly because everytime it was used, it introduced new people to Calendly, who could then see how easy it was to book time with people and send invites to others. “Just use my Calendly” became shorthand for scheduling time. Since 2014, Calendly has at least doubled its ARR almost every year. 2014: $100K 2015: $1M 2016: $4.1M 2017: $8M 2018: $24M 2019: $40M 2020: $70M

Today, Calendly has essentially synonymous with scheduling the same way DocuSign became synonymous with e-signatures. They have 50%+ market share, and with COVID tailwinds, they’re growing revenue 5-6% per month. Calendly’s biggest problem is lack of network effects. If you have an account, it doesn’t matter if the person you’re inviting to a meeting does. This makes Calendly vulnerable to products like HubSpot (who have a Calendly clone) which marketing and sales teams already pay for. Calendly’s ultimate opportunity, however, is much bigger than the $160M~ market for scheduling tools. Calendly digitizes time like DocuSign digitized trust. It took time for e-signatures to be widely accepted, but as they spread throughout the enterprise, DocuSign’s focus on owning the notion of digital trust has paid off huge. DocuSign became the interface legal/finance/HR/sales teams relied upon to be the stamp of authenticity on transactions. Then, they integrated backwards, selling end-to-end solutions for enterprise contracting needs that were adjacent to e-signatures. Today, while 87% of DocuSign’s customers are very small businesses of less than 10 employees, 88% of revenue comes from enterprise and commercial customers, and 60% of revenue comes in via the DocuSign API. As e-signatures became commonplace, DocuSign’s control (70% market share) of this stamp on transactions meant they could back into numerous highly-valuable enterprise use cases around contracting. Calendly has a similar opportunity around the atomic unit of the meeting. The meeting is to the customer relationship as the e-signature is to a transaction: a point of leverage around sales, marketing, customer success, and recruiting worth billions. And Calendly is the only player in this market that has come from the bottom-up. By getting deeper into these various workflows and becoming more of an end-to-end solution, the result will be increased retention (DocuSign’s NDR is 115%~) and increased ARPU via higher pricing.
