So I firmly you believe you can build an incredible SaaS startup from anywhere now, or at least, any major-ish tech center. See, e.g., Atlassian, Canva, Cloudflare (CEO now in Park City), Adyen, etc. Heck, Oracle apparently is moving to Nashville! And yet … gravity is coming back to the SF Bay Area. So many CEOs have come back, even if their teams haven’t.

Dear SaaStr: What Are Some Early Red Flags That Your SaaS Solution Doesn’t Have Real Product-Market Fit? The biggest red flag I’ve found is when the “insertion point” you think is 10x+ better than the competition … doesn’t end up being something customers highly value once you launch it.

But because for most folks even at $1m-$2m ARR, it’s already too late. Why? Two reasons: First, if you don’t start Freemium, it’s very very hard to add that DNA later, once you have real revenues, processes and software optimized around larger customers and deal sizes Freemium: Requires a much more elegant onboarding (no human assist) that most ent
