This is a huge distinction and sadly I think many people miss it. You go a mid-quarter ops meeting. The CMO shows quarter-to-date MQLs. Someone asks how we define MQL. A 15-minute conversation ensues. The SVP of Alliances talks about influenced ARR. Someone asks how that’s defined, but only five minutes are spent on definition.

So is AI taking over everything? Will $1B SaaS companies be run by 1 person teams? I mean … maybe.

Dear SaaStr: Does Being a Strong Operator Make You a Better Investor? I don’t think in SaaS being a founder or senior exec or early key hire makes you a better investor per se. Why not? I mean … it’s pretty easy to invest at $1m ARR growing 300% in a hot space. It’s really not all that hard. Now founders may prefer an ex-CEO or operator on their board or cap table.
