I set out to determine if fundraising seasonality had changed from this post I published in 2014 which suggested Q2 & Q4 were best for founders. The answer is yes. The US software Series A market has become much less seasonal since that post in 2014. I’ve plotted the data above & smoothed it to clarify the patterns. In 2013, the surge in June/July & December stand out.

For many years, the term “out-of-band Microsoft update” meant that Microsoft was releasing a special patch for a security issue identified as being under active attack. The patch was urgent enough to be released outside the normal “Patch Tuesday” security updates released the second Tuesday of every month. But recently Microsoft has been releasing out-of-band updates that fix issues that were introduced with the monthly security updates.

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.

So there’s a lot of angst in VC today. And a lot of it is around bridge rounds. What’s a bridge round? It’s extra money solely from the existing investors. And bridge rounds are … stressful. Almost always. No one really wants to do them. They want a top VC to come in and do the next round at 2x, 3x, 10x the last round price.

Dear SaaStr: How Can I Give Better SaaS Product Demos? One simple answer: train your reps more. A lot more. With most SaaS companies, for a while, demos get worse: At first, founders do all the demos. The demos themselves are a bit rambling, too long — but full of passion. And Q&A is A. After all, they built the product. Then — you finally get a few good reps.

Dear SaaStr: How Many Deals a Year Do VCs at Bigger VC Funds Do a Year? Not as many as you’d think. This is a really important question because it creates so many non-obvious VC-founder dynamics. There are some partners that do more but the number is generally 1-2 per year at most traditional Series A/B/C VC firms, maybe 3–4 at pre-seed funds, and the partners do start to slow investment down after 7–10 board seats.

I’ve been CEO of two startups and on the board of about ten. That means I’ve presented a lot of operating plans to boards. It also means I’ve had a lot of operating plans presented to me. Frankly, most of the time, I don’t love how they’re presented. Common problems include: Lack of strategic context : management shows up with a budget more than a plan, and without explaining the strategic thinking (one wonders, if any) behind it.
