Dear SaaStr: What’s the Harder Part About SaaS Companies, At Each Stage? The hardest part changes every 12–24 months, and the whole company changes every 30-36 months or so. But a few thoughts on “the hardest part” for the first few stages: From $1-$100k in ARR, the hardest part is often how little revenue you get from each customer. Most SaaS products are inexpensive.

For web3 startups to thrive, their marketing teams will need to spend marketing dollars to acquire users efficiently. Existing marketing technology won’t work for web3.

The behavioral patterns in web3 differ driven by anonymity, communication patterns on discord and telegram, and the consequences of using tokens as user acquisition, as governance

So no source of funding data is perfect. Essentially every source lags, because deals are often reported far after they close. Most unicorn press releases you see were closed months ago. But AngelList’s data is probably as up-to-date as you can get. The data is more recent than most sources, since it is self-reported by the investors in the round and on the AngelList platform.

We don’t have to look far to find examples of B2B SaaS companies that have found traction using a self-service or product-led motion. Look at Zoom or Slack: businesses designed for enterprise organizations that use B2C-like onboarding flows (such as product-led growth, or PLG) to fuel interest and adoption. In fact, it’s telling that the number of publicly-traded PLG-led companies nearly quadrupled between 2015 and 2020.
