In many segments, competition-to-the-almost-death seems the norm in SaaS. Just look at Larry Ellison or Marc Benioff. While both seemed to have mellowed a bit recently, you can still see it in their eyes, their press releases, their ads in the Wall Street Journal. Ellison and Benioff clearly want to kill their competitors. And each other. Every day.

The round extension is the most popular fundraising round today. You won’t find statistics detailing their rise in PitchBook or Crunchbase, but “reopening the last round” or “raising a round extension” precede pitches Startupland today. How does an extension impact a company’s cap table on average? Round dilution from VC dollars has been declining for the past decade.

A lot of folks are talking about how things were in ’08-’09 and even ’00-’01 these days. I don’t think today is anything like those times. The amount of folks buying SaaS software is a force like we’ve never seen before, and even with some stock market drama, many top SaaS companies still trade at $4B, $10B, $20B or more just a decade after being founded.

For web3 startups to thrive, their marketing teams will need to spend marketing dollars to acquire users efficiently. Existing marketing technology won’t work for web3. Web2 marketing employs the cookie as the primary identifier of a person, not a wallet. There’s no bridge between web2 & web3 data, yet. The behavioral patterns in web3 differ driven by anonymity, communication patterns on discord and telegram, and the consequences of using tokens as user acquisition, as governance

As an engineering leader, it can be challenging to make sense of this evolving landscape, but agent tooling provides such high value that it’s critical we figure out how to move forward.

With all the doom and gloom on Twitter, you could be forgiven for thinking SaaS customers have somehow evaporated. And perhaps they will. But not today. Not today.

We don’t have to look far to find examples of B2B SaaS companies that have found traction using a self-service or product-led motion. Look at Zoom or Slack: businesses designed for enterprise organizations that use B2C-like onboarding flows (such as product-led growth, or PLG) to fuel interest and adoption. In fact, it’s telling that the number of publicly-traded PLG-led companies nearly quadrupled between 2015 and 2020.

So no source of funding data is perfect. Essentially every source lags, because deals are often reported far after they close. Most unicorn press releases you see were closed months ago. But AngelList’s data is probably as up-to-date as you can get. The data is more recent than most sources, since it is self-reported by the investors in the round and on the AngelList platform.

Coinbase and Uniswap are two of the leading crypto exchanges. The market values COIN, Coinbase’s stock, and UNI, Uniswap’s token at about 3x trailing 12-month revenues. But should they be trading at similar multiples? As the market has corrected, so have the trailing 12-month revenues (TTM)/Market Cap multiples. They move in synchrony with an R^2 of 0.79.
