Dear SaaStr: What Are Your Thoughts on Co-CEOs? Like many things, I’ve mellowed a bit on this over time. I traditionally thought co-CEOs were a terrible idea. Everyone needs to know who’s the boss in the end. Who’s on the hook for raising capital, managing the board, firing and hiring the executives, etc. I thought a CEO and a President were OK, for example, but two CEOs was just a bunch of headaches in the making.

Vendr’s quarterly report on SaaS purchasing trends summarize the sentiment of the software market. Q2 was tough but Q3 is looking up. The average sales cycle has lengthened from 32 to 44 days for net new software, a 37% increase. Slower cycles & fewer new purchases : 19% of software purchases are net new in 2023 ; just 17% in Q3. Still about 1-in-5, but down from 30% last year.

Dear SaaStr: What are some of the “ultimate sins” in marketing and sales and success in SaaS in the early stages? My list of some bad ones: Sales: Hiring any reps you wouldn’t buy from. This never works out in the early days. Later, once you have a strong VP of Sales, it’s fine though. A bit more here. Hiring a “VP” of Sales before you have 2 scaled reps and a repeating process.

3 months ago, a dear friend’s agency closed for good. 2 months ago, another close friend had a round of layoffs at their firm. And in just the last two weeks, I talked to four agency owners who reported their first revenue-declining year in the last five. It’s rough out there for a lot of digital marketing agency owners.

With so many years of being remote, we’ve experimented with communication a lot. One conversation that often comes up for remote companies is asynchronous (async) communication. Async just means that a discussion happens when it is convenient for participants. For example, if I record a Loom video for a teammate in another time zone, they can watch it when they’re online — this is async communication at its best.

It’s been an eventful year in the world of generative music. In April, the first viral AI cover dropped: ghostwriter’s “Heart on My Sleeve,” which woke up the music world to the fact that AI content could not only exist, but could be good. Soon after, Google unveiled MusicLM, a text-to-music tool that generates songs from a basic prompt; Paul McCartney used AI to extract John Lennon’s voice for a new Beatles track; and Grimes offered creators 50% of the royalties for streams of songs that used
