I was chatting with a friend of mine about the advent of robotic surgery and he was lamenting the challenges associated with training younger doctors. Before robotic surgery, medical surgeons stood shoulder to shoulder alongside seasoned surgeons operating. Today, the head surgeon manipulates a robot independently while students watch through a window or video.

2012 was the year of the Seedpocalypse. Also called the Series A Crunch, a fear gripped Startupland : raising a Series A. Two years later, this indigestible excessive bolus of fundraising rounds hit the Series B market & Series Bs became the most challenging round to raise. Whenever there are “too many” of fundraises of one type, the next round becomes the hardest to raise.

So it’s hard to get a sense of just what is happening in SaaS. “B2B2B” remains in a big funk, with Salesforce projecting a decline to single-digit growth for the first time ever next year. And in the aggregate, public SaaS companies are growing the slower they have in history. And yet … both AI and the consumer economy remain strong: Databricks is growing 60% at $2.4B — and that’s up from 50% the year before!

Dear SaaStr: Does a SaaS Startup CEO Need to Have Sales Skill? Yes, if you have customers that talk to humans. Possibly no, if you only have “users” and/or are a freemium + no-touch model. If you build Dropbox or Squarespace or even Shopify to some extent, maybe you don’t have to be great at sales. But if you build Snowflake or Datadog or Box, you have to get good at it.

Founders were almost always selling. Well, almost always. But even in the Old Days, the hottest of start-ups made up the terms.
