Dear SaaStr: What is the Highest Position in a Venture Capital Firm? The “Managing General Partner” or “Managing Director” or a similar title.

So when I was a founder, I didn’t pay much attention to how VC funds themselves worked. I just pitched them. But fast forward to today, and there is an incredible amount of information about how the industry actually works, and we put a bunch of the best stuff on SaaStr itself. Most important today is for founders to know (1) how active the venture markets are, at each stage and (2) how healthy venture is overall.

I’ve been tinkering with LLMs. First, I created a chatbot using all my blog posts. Then I created a model to produce blog entries based on my writing. As I went through this process, I asked myself some questions along the way : Does the ML model ingest my posts & keep them? What if I’d like to remove them from the logs or training set or output for others?
