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.

So SaaStr itself is a little funky — we only have 9 team members but a fair amount of scale in terms of reach, revenue, and in some cases, software utilization. We don’t need many CRM seats for example but we do a ton of marketing. So it was interesting when we tried to migrate off an existing enterprise-focused marketing tool we use. We mainly use it for legacy reasons, and no one on our current team really wants to use it.
