Revenue Milestone

Gusto surpassed $1B in actual trailing-12-month revenue, with a last-quoted valuation near $9B, placing it closer to public markets amid a competitive HR-tech landscape and a $600M Guideline acquisition, while signaling potential future fundraising or an IPO despite a frosty market.

Anysphere CEO Michael Truell, after hitting $1B in annualized revenue, says the startup will focus on building key features and that competition from OpenAI and Anthropic won't crush them.
