We’re excited to share the new version of the SaaS Funding Napkin. — SaaS Funding Napkin?!

Hyper-growth is great, but don’t die while trying

How to avoid bad surprises when you’re planning for fast growth — Companies perform according to plan … until they don’t. That’s a tautology/joke, obviously.
