growth is usually in percent. If you make $1000 more dollars per month, it doesn't mean the same thing if you do 1M ARR or 10k ARR

There is a slide on page 31 showing revenue growth expressed as a percentage.

There is? Page 31 of the document I'm seeing shows the percentage of businesses in each MRR category.

As polote said above, it's very strange to see MRR growth figures given as a fixed dollar amount throughout the presentation. As a founder, you might be quite worried if your business was only growing by the same dollar amount each month over an extended period.

You'd be surprised. I've met founders who were happy growing by a few hundred bucks a month. With most of these companies doing under 15K/month, the percentage growth is going to be pretty low.

You are looking at page 30. See the next slide. Title is “What best describes your company’s average Month-Over-Month (MOM) growth rate over the past 3 months?”
