So what if I told you there is a SaaS company you likely have never really heard of unless you are in adtech / advertising, doing $2 Billion in ARR, with a $28 Billion market cap even today, that’s insanely profitable and yet still growing 32%? Yes, this company exists. It’s called The Trade Desk. It’s self-service SaaS for AdTech, so it’s often seen more as an Adtech player than a SaaS company, but the reality is it’s software for ad spend.

They’ve set out to solve the problems customers faced with the previous generation of BI. Today, I can show you what this means in practice because Omni is commercially available. Anyone who has managed a larger BI deployment has faced the challenge of managing hundreds, perhaps thousands of metrics.

Dear SaaStr: Does Raising Funding From VCs Limit Your Exit Options? While technically true, especially if you’ve raised a lot (as many did in the Boom Times of late 2020 to early 2022), I believe embedded in this thinking is some bad advice. VCs are expecting a positive return on their investment. They are wished for 100x their money (that’s what “makes a fund), hoping for at least 10x their money, OK with 5x, and will settle for 2x-3x.

From testing out plugins to setting up new payment methods, maintaining Stripe can be very time-consuming.

This is one of the primary reasons why growth expert Fred Linfjärd encourages SaaS companies to consider using a merchant of record instead of a DIY solu

Facebook went all in on the “metaverse” a year and a half ago. The company changed its name to Meta and started pumping a billion dollars a month into a Hail Mary boondoggle to achieve relevance in the post-social world to come. Now Meta finds itself entering a “ metaverse winter ” — a general decline in investment and excitement around the idea. Meta itself has laid off thousands in its metaverse and social businesses alike.

Dear SaaStr: When Do You Start to Develop a Brand in SaaS? In my experience, probably about $2m worth of happy customers. At that point, you don’t have a world-famous brand or anything. But you do start to have a “mini-brand”, where folks in your top niche or segment start to have heard of you. If your product costs $2,000 a year, that might be around 1,000 customers.
