It's not just FTX. Every VC I catch up with has a quiet story of fraud in their portfolio. Numbers that were sort of made up usually. Most won't ever be discussed or end up public. — Jason Be Kind Lemkin (@jasonlk) November 10, 2022. I’ve had the privilege to invest one way or another in about 35 SaaS companies, both as a VC and as angel. 6 have become decacorns and unicorns, and 3 have sold for $1B+ cash.

My laptop is faster than your cloud. For the last ten years, the data ecosystem has focused on big data - the bigger the data set, the more exciting. But most workloads aren’t massive. Instead of requiring a scale-out database in the sky, most analyses are faster with an optimized database on your computer that can leverage the cloud when needed.

“So we're seeing some slowdown in certain sectors and, frankly, acceleration in others, things like low-code, no-code environments, productivity, cybersecurity to protect the enterprise ….

So ChurnZero put out a great new report surveying 1,037 customer success professionals. The average size was 51-200 employees, so when things are taking off. Grab it here. A few things stood out to me: #1. 53% of VPs of CS report to the CEO or COO, and then 17% to CRO/VPS. Some good data on this split. I generally see CS reporting to a CRO as a recipe for conflicts, but sometimes it’s the best option: #2.
