I originally wrote this post way, way back in the first year of SaaStr and have updated it every 2 years or so, because it’s an important thing to think about as a founder. Especially now in 2022, when venture capital again is scarcer, and more expensive, and far harder to close than it was during the go-go times for SaaS of 2021 and late 2020.

So Hunter Walk of Homebrew aptly summarized what I’ve been trying to say less eloquently for about 2-3 months. For 90% of startups, if you’re struggling right now … sure blame the market. But it’s not that, if your market is huge. It’s You. “Note: I don’t want to hear seed companies complain about ‘the market.’ You literally just showed me a deck that said your TAM was 10,000 customers” @hunterwalk [link]. — Jason 2022 SaaStr Annual Sep 13-15 Lemkin (@jasonl

Every year, you should double your TTAM. Your True TAM. (Not the TAM in the deck you made for the VCs). Otherwise, growth stalls. — Jason BeKind Lemkin #???????????? (@jasonlk) July 10, 2022. So generally, as an investor, you don’t want to worry too much about TAM — Total Addressable Market. At least, not after a certain point. If a SaaS company can double or even triple at $1m ARR, it’s on to something good.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has given his backing to a major effort to convince state governors, government, and educators to make computer science classes available to every student in every school. But it’s not just philanthropy in play. We just can’t get the staff. Demand and supply. In theory, when demand increases, supply emerges to meet it. Except it doesn’t always work out that way and as the world gets more digitized , the need for coders is growing faster than the world can keep up.

Before the Second World War, King George journaled the end of Neville Chamberlain’s term as prime minister: “I accepted his resignation, & told him how grossly unfairly I thought he had been treated, & that I was terribly sorry that all this controversy had happened. … I sent for Winston & asked him to form a Government. This he accepted & told me he had not thought this was the reason for my having sent for him.”.

Essentially, this is your “threat model”. What assets do you have and who wants them? If you’re online, so is your data and your customers’ data, which must be protected. Going further than that, your customers have to trust you with that data.

Q: Dear SaaStr: What Separates a Good Startup Founder From a Great One? Two factors IMHO / experience: (1) recruiting, and (2) the ability to push on. Being great at Recruiting. Recruiting is incredibly hard. Most of us eventually sort of give up, and settle on key hires, or just keep doing a specific role ourselves. And there is always a hotter, better funded start-up than yours.

Microsoft sells Office under two models: Individuals and businesses can pay for the software license up front and own it forever (what the company calls the “perpetual” version of the suite), or they can purchase a Microsoft 365
