So is “outbound dead”? This has become a hot topic and almost a meme across LinkedIn and social media in SaaS. There’s no question for most of us, outbound is a lot harder that it was in 2021. And that the standard, automated cadences and break-up emails generally aren’t performing all that well. But does that mean that high quality outreach to a prospect that’s in market or will be soon … doesn’t work?

Dear SaaStr: Would You Invest in a Start-Up With 6 Co-Founders? I’ve done it — once. At least with 5 true co-founders. And that startup did end up selling for over $1 Billion (!) — so it’s not a firm “No.” But it did have the exact issues you’d expect. The downside? The company was a lot less nimble. Decisions took much longer, more egos were involved, especially on compensation.

Dear SaaStr: Why Might the Founder of a Company Appoint Someone Else as CEO? Because you should always be asking yourself, if everyone in a senior role is the right person for the next stage. Including you. Most of your VPs won’t scale all the way from $1m to $100m in ARR. So you need to both help them scale, and also, make sure you hire above them if necessary so the business does not stall out.
