Dear SaaStr: As a CEO, Who is The Most Talented Founder You Have Ever Met? A few of the most talented I’ve ever met. Ok, let me qualify this by saying earlier in my career. As part of SaaStr, I meet so many incredible founders from HubSpot to Monday to Slack and more that I can’t count those, for the most part. So I’m excluded the CEOs and founders, for the most part, that I’ve met though SaaStr itself as there are too many great ones.

To put it simply: higher LTV:CAC → higher margins → higher valuation. Investors often use 3x LTV:CAC as a rough benchmark of a consumer company’s financial health.

But there’s little discussion of how a higher LTV:CAC actually translates to long-term profitability and, ultimately, valuation.
