Key Takeaways from Attendees

The notes from attendees further enriched the event’s insights:

  • Validate Your Product: Re-evaluate if your product is a use-and-throw software or a mission-critical solution. The importance of daily use by businesses cannot be overstated.

  • Stranger ARR: Aim for good Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) from customers who are strangers to your product.
  • SaaS Metrics Every Founder Should Know: Familiarize yourself with key metrics such as LTV (Lifetime Value), CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost), MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue), NRR (Net Revenue Retention), and ARR.
  • Product Marketing Functions: Highlighting the importance of onboarding, adoption, PR, and branding in product marketing functions.
  • Strategic Advice: Insights included having a marketer on board from day one, emphasizing the significance of looking at the bigger picture for a $100M ARR business, and the importance of not building for the Fortune 500 but the unfortunate 500k companies.
