Two years ago I published an image of a rabbit on a fire truck to demonstrate how effective image generation was for blog posts. The conclusion at the time : the images were unusable. In 2025, the opposite is true - with one caveat. Prompt: Coupa & Thoma Bravo logos each in front of a cloud with a plus sign between them. 2023 2025 Two years has brought tremendous professionalism to new image.

You probably won't have to scroll TikTok for more than a few minutes before stumbling upon a video about how someone has just quit their day job to become a full-time creator. (Not just my algorithm, is it?) It makes for great content, of course, but there really are loads of ways to earn on TikTok — and I don’t just mean through sponsored posts.

Dear SaaStr: Should I Buy a Great “ com” At a Crazy Price or Just Stick What the “ ai” We Already Have?

When youre trying to use app analytics to grow your product, its easy to fall into: Generating low-quality data in abundance. Creating data silos, redundant tracking, and tracking errors due to fragmented tools. Having no direction in your analysis and getting lost in the data. As Head of Product Design at Userpilot, Ive learned that theres no value in any data point if it doesnt lead to strategic action, no matter your app's platform.

Dear SaaStr: How Do We Reduce Churn? Churn is one of the most critical metrics in SaaS. Maybe the most critical in the end. With too much churn … in the end, it doesn’t compound. Its the silent killer of growthif your churn is too high, its like trying to fill a leaky bucket. You cant scale effectively if youre constantly losing customers faster than youre acquiring or expanding them.

Dear SaaStr: What if im not sure that my VP Sales is the right person? If youre not sure your VP of Sales is the right person, youre already in a tricky spot. The reality is, at the VP level, you cant fix them if theyre not a fit. And that’s likely your fault for hiring them. Not theirs. A VP of Sales / CRO may struggle or fail in one environment and thrive in another.
