Dear SaaStr: What Are The Pros and Cons of a Double Trigger with a 6 year Vest for Founders of a Startup? I think there are no cons and this is a great idea. First, a 6+ year vesting schedule protects you from the less committed founders. The last thing you want is the flakiest founders quitting early and ending up with as much stock as you, or close to it.

So while the media is full of stories of unicorns doing layoffs and massive cutbacks, the story is a bit different with leading public SaaS companies. Yes many public SaaS companies have done some sort of layoffs the past 12 months, they were often more really reorgs, though, without any net decrease in headcount. And yes, many have gotten tougher on spending for sure.

I put blog ideas into a to-write folder which today contains more than 300 files full of brain dumps, outlines, and rants, all in various forms of disrepair. It’s my process. In that folder, there are 21 posts with PLG (product-led growth) in the draft copy and 5 with PLG in the title. It’s a topic I’ve always been interested in, but two things have prevented me from attempting a seminal post on PLG.

When a customer cancels their software subscription with a solution provider, the logical next step for the provider is to analyze why the customer churned. However, youd be surprised at how often this doesnt happen. Often, in place of a proper churn analysis companies operate and make decisions based on opinions, hunches and best guesses.
