So few things were more coveted than unicorn status from about ‘16-‘19. It was a sign you were one of the elite, and it made recruiting and so much more easier. Stewart Butterfield noted that how important it was for Slack at the time to become a unicorn — period. Then things changed from mid-2020 to early 2022. It seemed like everyone become a unicorns.

When founders of startups start to hire employees to work on various parts of the business, it tends to be uneasy for both the founder and the employee early on. The founder may have done that job in some capacity before they hired for it, but they are not an expert. The incoming employee may bring more expertise, but they don’t know the business yet.

I recently did a consulting project where I worked with an experienced executive to provide a crash course in SaaS metrics. In order to perform that assignment, I decided not to make an entire course, but simply the syllabus for one, as a way to guide our conversations. While I have no intention of attempting the Herculean task of turning this ten-page outline into a course, I do think sharing the outline itself is potentially useful for two reasons: It took a large amount of effort to map thin

ClinicSense is a SaaS platform that supports over 7,000 massage therapists who use it for appointment management, payments, scheduling, marketing activities and more. Despite having a relatively low payment failure rate, the company discovered that the failures disrupted the customer experience. This often led to churn as customers decided to cancel or abandon their account, preventing ClinicSense from realizing the full lifetime value (LTV) of its users.

Vendor Viability. The question for bigger customers especially on if a vendor will actually stay around if they you buy. This remains a large risk with start-ups. But it’s been mitigated to some extent in the minds of customers. With 100+ public Cloud companies, it’s now a bit clearer that at least after a certain point in time, SaaS vendors have a lot of stability.

The company changed its name to Meta and started pumping a billion dollars a month into a Hail Mary boondoggle to achieve relevance in the post-social world to come. Now Meta finds itself entering a “ metaverse winter ” — a general decline in investment and excitement around the idea.

It’s so funny how many people are concerned about ChatGPT and Bard. Not necessarily from a content creation standpoint but more so how it is going to kill search. When Google announced Bard, their stock fell 7%. It cost them more than 100 billion dollars… that’s a lot of money. Why such a big drop in their stock price ? Google’s ad showed an incorrect description of the telescope used to take the first pictures of a planet outside our solar system, for example.
