A little while back, I caught up with a great VP of Sales that had been using Adobe Sign / EchoSign for 11 (!) years. Her company had been acquired, and the acquirer cancelled the contract, due to a feature gap in the new company’s business process stack. Lesson #1: it still hurts! Even when you haven’t worked there for the better part of a decade.

The 100x ARR multiple might be the fundraising meme of 2021. Before, most investors used forward ARR multiples to value companies, but recently, the 100x multiple seems to be a benchmark for SaaS companies raising rounds. Where did this figure originate? How does it compare to the public markets' valuation of companies? Let’s look at the data.

The “Rule of 40” is one of the most commonly cited valuation benchmarks in SaaS for both public and private companies. The SaaS “Rule of 40” has gained popularity due to its simplicity, requiring only two common financial metrics to be added together. While SaaS is an amazingly transparent community with abundant benchmarking resources, there are much fewer publicly available studies that allow an analysis of the underlying drivers of “Rule of 40.” Fortunately

VC funds need about $2B in “exits” for each $50m they raise. Why? True average ownership of 10% fully-diluted x $2B = $200m. That’s 4x “gross” $50m or just about good enough today. So raise a $300m fund, you need about $12B in exits. Or better. — Jason BeKind Lemkin (@jasonlk) November 3, 2021. In the early days of SaaStr, I was just starting to invest and it took me a while to figure out how VC really works.

SEO isn’t new, it has been around for a while. Just think of it this way… Google was founded in 1998 and SEO existed before Google as it wasn’t the first search engine. At this point, we know the intention of search engines, in which they want to show the best results for people at the top. So, with all of their algorithm changes, what do you think is going to be the biggest challenge in 2022?

The “Magic Number” is one of those metrics in SaaS that has always sort of vexxed me. On the one hand, you need a shorthand for your sales and marketing efficiency — and that’s Magic Number. Magic Number is your growth in ARR over a quarter divided by the sales and marketing spend in the prior quarter. Generally, anything >1 is seen as healthy if you are venture backed, and anything > 1.5 is often seen as perhaps too capital efficient.

Alert fatigue is a common problem among engineering teams that handle operations and maintain infrastructure. The problem usually stems from a haphazard approach to writing alerts as teams grow and begin using more infrastructure of increasing complexity. This is quite normal – as a company or a team grows, it often takes time for an observability culture and solid alerting practices to take shape.

Remember when rap group Wu-Tang Clan sold that single copy of their album for a whopping $2 million ? Now, imagine people flocking for your product like it’s the new Wu-Tang jam. Well, you don’t have to imagine it. You can turn it into reality by using scarcity, the same principle that spurred the excitement around the album: only so many items are available (and maybe only for only a limited time).

In a nutshell, content creator is a broad term describing someone who produces some form of content, including but not limited to blog posts, videos, photography, and reels.

B2B lead generation is more than just presenting prospects with fancy features and benefits. For example, not long ago, we were migrating the subscriptions of a new customer into our system. This process is normally straightforward, but in this case, we ran into a delay. Even though it wasn’t our fault, the delay meant this company might not be able to process existing subscriptions for several days — a poor way to start a relationship with a new software-as-a-service company.
