He and Jason do a deep dive on where the venture markets really are today, and what it means for founders.   Key Takeaways: #1. VC remains open — at least for deals < $1B valuation.   #2. So many top, mid, and later-stage SaaS companies raised tons of capital in 2021, so much … that few really need to go back to market and raise again this year.   #3. VCs are taking more time, but more “back to normal” time Growth deals can still be done in 3-4 weeks, just not 1 week now.   #4. Not only is there is plenty of money in venture — but even more is coming. Top funds are continuing to raise huge funds.   #5. The biggest issue in venture today is just that founders haven’t changed their expectations   #6. 2016 was tough, too.    #7.  Watch What the Big PE Firms like Vista, Thoma Bravo, etc. do in SaaS.  They know.   Full video: https://youtu.be/WehTJ4RNBaQ   Want to join the SaaStr community?

SaaStr 554: The Builders and Sellers Playbook: Proven Models that Help GTM and Product-led Teams Scale with CircleCI CEO Jim Rose

May 11, 2022 27:05

We know the secret to SaaS is technology that scales, but what about the people? Effective collaboration between go-to-market and R&D teams is critical, and it all starts with understanding how the other side operates. Product-led organizations are made up of “builders and sellers,” two parts of your organization who inherently approach their work differently. To get the entire organization on the same page, a different playbook is required. From introducing more effective communication practices to finding shared purpose in disparate operating models, there are required shifts that need to be made at each stage of growth. In this talk, 20+ year SaaS entrepreneur and CircleCI CEO, Jim Rose, will share: Understanding what product-led growth really means and how to find harmony during rapid expansion How to build and use a data-driven engine to get R&D and GTM teams speaking the same language How to look for the key signals that drive critical decisions at various stages of growth   Full video: https://youtu.be/39NqdMTKUC8   Want to join the SaaStr community?
