While data platforms, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and programming platforms have evolved to leverage big data and streaming data, the front-end user experience has not kept up. Holding onto old BI technology while everything else moves forward is holding back organizations.

Dear SaaStr: What’s It Really Like to Be CEO of a Startup? Let me just throw out a few things I’ve learned that being a CEO of start-up isn’t, or isn’t as you’d expect: It isn’t glamorous until you are At Scale and Hot, at the very minimum.

Historically, software-as-a-service (SaaS) has been built on databases with structured data, as you might find in an Excel spreadsheet. But the ability of large language models to extract insights from unstructured information changes this architecture : data repositories like data lakes are becoming essential parts of modern SaaS stacks. For example, next generation marketing software might ingest structured data from Google Analytics and lead capture software as before.

Churn and retention rates might look like two sides of the same coin, but they measure two different aspects of your customer journeys and apply them to other teams. The churn rate captures the drawdowns of customers that have exited your platform in a particular period (monthly, quarterly, annually) and better indicates the issues nesting within your business.

It’s a natural next step for anyone who watches long-form YouTube videos to also watch short-form videos on the platform – and there are nearly three billion of those people.

So ever since I started in SaaS, I’ve been trying to answer a basic question: how quickly do the best take off and get to $10m ARR? It took us about 5.5 years back in the day, but SaaS was much smaller then. And I worried when I compared us to Dropbox, Yammer, Box and others that were our peers that got there faster. Then I started investing and I came up with a basic ruie that the best startups needed to grow at least 8% a month once they crossed $1m ARR.

One thing I’m a bit embarrassed to admit is we didn’t actually crunch the numbers to see what happens when we go visit our sponsors in person. The answer? 40% higher revenue per sponsor, and about 10% higher logo retention when we showed up in person.
