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

Remember the metaverse? Before the recent explosion of hype around artificial intelligence (AI), the metaverse was anointed the Next Big Thing, ready to transform the world, technology, and work in ways never before imagined. Soon we would all live and work together in a virtual world far more interesting, vital, and productive than the drab reality in which we’re stuck.

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.

In CloudFlare’s latest earnings report , the management team highlighted the strength of enterprise buyers within their customer base. I wondered if this were broadly true. Do public software companies with largely enterprise customer bases benefit from superior growth to their peers with mid-market or SMB focuses? Enterprise & Mid-Market public companies have seen a relatively constant decline in growth rates through the last six years.

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.
