I was asked on the discord zeta community server how fast we could grow, since analyst have growth slowing by a lot next year, this is the answer:

1. Zeta is a master of sandbagging.
2. *David Steinberg has been saying he believes they can grow a minimum of 20% organically for the next several years.
3. *He has also stated: "I want to build a $10 billion business with a 30% operating margin with a meaningful percentage of that dropping into free cash flow." (This is not a guidance but more a forward looking statement)
4. *They have a 2028 guidance of above 2.1 billion (revisited to 2.3 billion). Imo, we will be way higher.
5. *Every 2nd year revenue will be higher due to political spend, presidential terms, and midterms.
6. *The partnerships with Palantir, Snowflake, and OpenAI are NOT included in current guidance. They also help Gemini and Anthropic, I believe, and maybe they will start to monetize faster
7. *Zeta does M&A, and therefore it can be a little harder to model. I believe with "SaaSgeddon," maybe they can scoop up some cheap assets, but it's hard to predict.
8. *Revenue growth is one thing; they have stated that OpEx will be lower due to Foundry (Palantir). ZBI (Zeta Business Intelligence) and Athena OS have the potential to deliver very high margins, so for me it's also a question of operating leverage.
9. My conclusion: The company is innovating and getting new partnerships at an insane pace; almost all Palantir customers are potential Zeta customers (with revenue share). I believe we could see above 25% CAGR for the next few years, but with FCF growing faster.
10. (Wrote it and got AI to translate and correct spelling)
