SaaS (Software as a Service) startups are notoriously challenging. While SaaS startups have some endurance advantage because they can build recurring revenue models, only about 13% of SaaS startups reach $10 million in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) within 10 years. Accurate pricing is critical to survival. In their great summer series "We Asked, They Answered," Hypepotamus captured advice from some of the top venture-backed entrepreneurs about how to build an enduring SaaS business. Our portfolio company, AchieveIt, is one of those companies. Their CEO, Danny Sehr, offers wise counsel about setting and sticking to pricing.

Heading into 2024, expectations for the VC market were low. Yet, at midyear, we see potential. Despite economic headwinds, sticky interest rates, and sluggish fundraising, data from the PitchBook NVCA Venture Monitor Q2 2024 (see graph) shows healthy deal values and stable deal counts (Seed through Venture Growth). US VC fundraising is up, tracking toward a stronger FY2024 that is stronger than 2023 and comparable with 2020 figures. In May, the Venture Atlanta Conference hosted the “State of Startup Investing in Atlanta" event. VC, startup, and civic leaders shared insights on regional VC trends and startup climate. Get the recap. 🌐 https://buff.ly/3KXneUu A core part of the conversation is how the region is working to be a Top 5 innovation market. Across the Southeast, exceptional startups have ample capital options. The quality of life and affordability in the region are high compared to other major cities in the region, and the local talent pipeline is rich. Listen to a candid discussion with Donnie Beamer Jr., CFA about how to achieve this goal. 🎧 https://buff.ly/4cuYSgQ Those factors, along with generally healthier deal flow across the US should give investors and founders optimism going into 2H 2024. We’re tracking the data and will share trends over the coming months.

"How do you react to failure?" That's the big question Malcolm Muhammad, PhD poses in this enlightening episode of the Extraordinary Pursuits Podcast. He considers how the right resources can help founders 'fail forward.' The question of failure as a skill is a constant undercurrent in startup, science, and innovation communities. Like Malcolm, writer and investor Sahil Bloom advocates that "Your entire life will change the moment you stop fearing failure as a foe and start embracing failure as a friend." Embracing failure as a launchpad takes a special kind of courage. 💪 "The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming...who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." (Teddy Roosevelt) ICYMI, queue up Malcolm's episode. Take a walk and listen to his guidance on finding a productive startup community. You might get inspired to dare even more greatly. 🎧 https://buff.ly/45IAwO2 #Podcast #ExtraordinaryPursuits #BIPVentures #Entrepreneur #Startup #WednesdayWisdom #Innovation #Failure #Success
