Q3 2026 · Board Update

Europe is working.

The EU rollout cleared its first full quarter — ahead of plan on revenue, behind on hiring.

The quarter in four numbers

Every top-line metric moved the right way, and the rate of change is accelerating — not just the level.

How the EU rollout landed

Live this quarter

  • Germany live in July — €4.1M ARR in one quarter
  • Nordics live in August, led by the Stockholm team
  • Benelux live in September, a month ahead of schedule

Still to open

  • France and Iberia go live in Q4 — staffing already signed
  • One EU pricing page replaces five local ones in November
  • Frankfurt data region closes the last enterprise blocker

Where the EU ARR sits

Market ARR Share
Germany €4.1M 46%
Nordics €2.7M 30%
Benelux €2.1M 24%

Germany alone is now larger than the whole EU book was in Q1.

Q4 pipeline coverage is 3.1× across the three live markets — the healthiest it has been since we opened Europe.

Revenue is compounding, quarter after quarter

Net-new ARR accelerated to €2.4M in Q3 — the strongest quarter since we opened Europe.

The three risks we are watching

Nothing here is off-track yet — each one has an owner and a number we review monthly.

01 — HIRING

Munich is nine roles short

Sales hiring is running a quarter behind the revenue plan. Backfilling with contract SEs until January.

02 — COMPLIANCE

EU data residency

The Frankfurt region ships in Q4. Two enterprise deals are paused until it does.

03 — FX

Euro exposure is now material

46% of new ARR is euro-denominated. Treasury proposes hedging from Q1.

The ask

Approve €3.4M for the Q4 EU hiring plan and the Frankfurt region — both are already on the critical path.
