Carta release its latest funding data the other data for 2024 Year-To-Date here : What you can see is that large, hot AI later stage deals overall are indeed driving venture capital deployments up ~ +17% the year. For early stage VC, it’s actually down -9% in 2024 over 2023. But that’s for late-stage capital.
SaaStr Annual 2025 ticket sales in December: 181% of 2024 SaaStr Annual 2025 ticket sales overall so far: 156% of 2024 We'll see where we end up, but … SaaS is Back!! No matter what, it will be bigger and better (and even more AI centric) than 2024. We’ll see where it all ends up for SaaStr Annual 2025.
So as we wind down 2024 … what were the most popular SaaStr posts of the year to catch up on? We had 940 posts in 2024 alone! In 2024/2025. The post The Top 10 SaaStr Posts of 2024! Let’s look at the Top 10 SaaStr Posts of the Year: #1. Venture-Backed or Bootstrapped? Theres a Third Way.
Something that’s both not surprising but also pretty impactful: 57% of venture-backed startups will have to go “back to market” in 2024 to raise more capital. At a practical level though, the headlines in 2024 may actually look much worse than 2023 for startup failures. for the first time in 2024! Carpe Diem.
So layoffs still fill the headlines in 2024. Most of you are, in fact: According to our latest unscientific but directionally correct survey of over 2,000 SaaS execs, 64% of you are growing your sales team in 2024. Even now. I thought we’d be behind them by now, that the cuts were sort of a one-off. So cuts continue.
I’ve got a meta takeaway from this for everyone out there that’s a bit unsettled, unhappy, wistful about their tech role: If you’re respected, well paid, and have a good job — see if you can come in fresh in 2024 with a better attitude. All the changes in the world from March 2020-December 2023 will be behind us in 2024.
Somewhere from March 2024 to October 2024 or so. TL;DR: It Sure Feels Like It) The post Carta: 24% of all Seed VC Rounds Were For SaaS in 2024 appeared first on SaaStr. So for a while, it did feel like SaaS was dead in VC. AI was often the accelerant. And it’s clear now, at least for now, SaaS is back. Is SaaS Back? (TL;DR:
Having said that … it looks like 2 Really, Really Good Ones Are IPO’d in 2024 First Up is Canva, At Almost $2 Billion (!) in ARR I have no inside information, but the word around is that Canva is planning to IPO in 2024 at a stunning $2B+ ARR by that time, growing a stunning 50% (!), cash flow-positive. We’ll see.
A stunning 76% of you are raising prices in 2024. A related post here: When You Raise Prices More Than a Smidge … They At Least Look At Another Vendor (up image from here ) The post 76% of You Are Raising Prices in 2024 appeared first on SaaStr. Are we thought the endless price increases we saw in 2023? Apparently not.
78% of you see 2025 being better than 2024: In most of B2B, it may never be as easy as 2H’20 and 2021. TL;DR: It Sure Feels Like It) The post 78% Of You Are More Bullish About 2025 Than 2024 appeared first on SaaStr. But the “downturn”, where there was one, is behind us. And AI is adding so much fuel to the fire.
So a question I get a lot from folks is “How Will 2024 Be?” So for them, will 2024 be any better? As both Henry Schuck, CEO of ZoomInfo, and Aaron Levie, CEO of Box pointed out in recent “What’s New” podcasts with us, 2024 almost has to be better because the cuts of 2023 are behind us.
Five perhaps somewhat obvious predictions for 2024: 1. Industry leaders, from Outreach to Gong, to Zoominfo and Box, should see a boost in 2024. 2024 may not be great, but for folks who are leaders in their categories, everyone likely will point to some quarter in 2023 as the low point. And putting my money on.

In 2024, the Series A Crunch has returned. Two years later, this indigestible excessive bolus of fundraising rounds hit the Series B market & Series Bs became the most challenging round to raise. Whenever there are “too many” of fundraises of one type, the next round becomes the hardest to raise.
But there are just enough of those, especially in the AI Boom of 2023-2024+, that a subset of venture-backed startups are still running the Grow, Grow, Grow playbook. Put differently, maybe 80% of unicorns can’t do this anymore. But the top 20% can, and often are. We aren’t all Wiz, or Rippling, or OpenAI, etc.
Security companies as a group average 29% expected revenue growth in 2024, compared to 23% for Data (or DaaS which stands for data-as-a-service).
