Two decades ago, Dustin Moskovitz joined forces with a friend of his who happened to be an engineer at Facebook (NASDAQ:FB).
Their mission was to "help humanity by enabling teams to work together effortlessly." They created an app, which was put to use by Facebook.
In 2008, they founded Asana (NYSE:ASAN) to take their project to another level. Asana's tools include project-management dashboards, timelines, and defined milestones.
Management believes that in 2023, there will be 1.25 billion knowledge workers worldwide, which will represent a $32 billion total addressable market.
With less than $300 million in revenue in 2020, Asana has captured less than 1% of the vast market. In the tech business, success comes from a combination of two factors:
Asana offers a freemium subscription, allowing companies and their employees to try the product and upgrade when more features are needed.
The more tools are added, the higher the switching cost in terms of complexity to change.
Moreover, Asana managed to fulfill its customers' needs better and to create new revenue streams. The dollar-based customer retention rate was 130% last quarter.
Pandemic-driven demand sent Asiana's revenue soaring 58% in 2020. However, we were not impressed with those numbers as teleworking and the reorganizing of companies to cope with the lockdown contributed enormously to the increase.
