ICONIQ Growth
Matthew Jacobson is a General Partner at ICONIQ Growth and a Miro board member. Miro's Series C announcement quotes him on Miro's market leadership and product momentum.
ICONIQ Growth is a technology-first venture and growth investor focused on product-centric software and tech-enabled businesses at inflection points from Series A through late-stage growth. The firm underwrites around durable compounding: strong product-market fit, category leadership, high retention, and efficient go-to-market execution, then often supports winners through multiple rounds, IPO, and beyond.

ICONIQ Growth is highly selective because it concentrates on companies that already show exceptional benchmark quality, category leadership potential, and the ability to absorb large institutional rounds. The firm can invest aggressively, but typically only after strong proof across retention, efficiency, market position, and founder execution.

Core beliefs and strategy behind their investing approach.
ICONIQ Growth is a technology‑first venture and growth platform that partners with product‑centric founders at critical inflection points, from early growth through IPO and beyond. Their core belief is that durable value in software comes from compounding product‑market fit, efficient go‑to‑market execution, and exceptional customer outcomes. The firm focuses primarily on B2B/enterprise software and technology‑enabled businesses—data and AI infrastructure, application software, developer tooling, fintech, and modern commerce—while maintaining a global lens with deep activity in North America and Europe. Their approach is grounded in rigorous, data‑driven benchmarking through the ICONIQ Enterprise Five, emphasizing YoY ARR growth, net dollar retention (typically 120%+), Rule of 40, sales efficiency (Net Magic Number), and ARR per FTE as leading indicators of scalable quality. They look for category leadership or a clear path to it, strong retention, efficient growth, and cultures of customer centricity. ICONIQ frequently leads or co‑leads sizable rounds and provides operating support, often doubling down as companies scale. While not exclusive to software, the visible bias is toward capital‑efficient, software‑centric models and clear category definers. Track record examples such as Snowflake, Datadog, GitLab, Miro, Chime, ServiceTitan, and others signal a thesis centered on durable compounding in mission‑critical software, data, and AI.
How they evaluate and make investment decisions.
What makes them invest: Clear product‑market fit with strong ARR momentum (often beginning at or beyond ~$10 M ARR for earlier growth), top‑tier net retention (targeting ~120%+ for enterprise motions), and evidence of efficient sales/GTM (Net Magic Number trending to ~1.0x+). They value customer centricity and cultural alignment, as reflected in public remarks on Miro and in the Enterprise Five. How they weigh team vs. market vs. traction: ICONIQ’s materials and GP statements emphasize execution and customer outcomes. The Chime case highlights extended founder diligence and proof of execution before investing. Their published frameworks put heavy weight on quantitative traction (ARR growth, NDR, Rule of 40) while contextualizing these with market size and product differentiation. Recurring reasons in “why we invested” statements include category leadership or a credible path to it, product‑led growth, durable expansion economics, and operating leverage (ARR/FTE). For later stages, they are comfortable underwriting at significant scale (e.g., ElevenLabs’ rapid ARR ramp; Ramp at $1 B ARR; Quince >$1 B revenue) when the company’s market position and efficiency profile justify it. Deal‑breakers (implied): weak net/gross retention, inefficient sales & marketing without improving trajectory, or lack of a credible path to category leadership. Their use of Rule of 40 and Magic Number suggests they discount hyper‑growth that lacks efficiency or durability.
ICONIQ Growth displays a high‑conviction, lead‑investor posture at growth and late stages, demonstrated by leading $250M‑$500M rounds (e.g., ElevenLabs Series C; Quince Series E; Ramp late‑stage). Their 2025 Year in Review shows $4.8 B deployed across 48 companies, indicating willingness to invest through market cycles, especially in AI‑driven category leaders. At the same time, their frameworks emphasize durability and efficiency (e.g., NDR ≈ 120%+, Rule of 40, Magic Number), suggesting a selective tilt: aggressive when the metrics and category momentum warrant it, conservative when unit economics or retention quality are weak. The Chime example illustrates patient, relationship‑driven underwriting—ICONIQ tracked execution for two years before joining an oversubscribed round. Overall, the pattern reflects a balanced risk appetite: assertive in leading sizable financings for market leaders with strong benchmarks, and patient/picky on entry when conviction is still building.
