When a startup is born, founders lead sales. Design partners, pilots, or founder-led sales - they have many names - these customers work with a startup to solve a problem. Conversations about contracts & pricing are kicked down the road until the customer sees value & the path to capture it. Said another way, founder-led sales are sales engineering sales, not account executive sales.

And sometimes, it’s a VC trying to themselves to the founder as well.

There’s a closely held growth secret among large B2B professional services firms, like consultants, accountants and law firms, that Customer Success Managers (CSMs) might appreciate: The more relationships a client has across a firm, the lower that client’s flight risk. Multiple relationships benefit clients and service providers since they get to know each other on a deeper business level.

So Freshworks in another in our line of “hero companies” in SaaS. While Freshworks is very much a global SaaS leader, its history as perhaps the first with deep roots in India to IPO in the U.S. makes it one we all root for as a break-out global leader. It’s now at $560m in ARR, growing 23% on a constant-currency basis, and while that growth has slowed from the go-go pace of the last 2 years, it still beat Wall Street’s estimates for both revenue and adjusted profit!

The future of augmented reality (AR) glasses is clear. At least it used to be. Then OpenAI happened. Specifically, the focus of AR has been following the Microsoft Hololens/Magic Leap idea, where billions are spent on the R&D goal of anchoring high-definition 3D digital objects to physical spaces. The Holy Grail is that, say, a realistic monkey avatar can not only stand on a real table, but can hide behind it — or a topographical interactive map sitting on the floor.
