When an entire category gets acquired by PE, it's like when a building goes under rent control.

Nobody wants to invest.
Everybody just wants to milk past investments.

This creates a great opportunity for VC-backed startups to disrupt the incumbents. All while they're just focused on making plan and cranking EBITDA.

Software is eating the world - and is going to revolutionize biotech. I am super stoked on what "softwarization" of biotech is going to bring! (title of the post is a bit misleading) https://t.co/gbfN1yx4AM

I love new logo acquisition as a key GTM metric. New logos are essential for any time of long term growth. Land & expand is important as well but it's more of a lock in and value-related metric https://t.co/YrQLxoMBnk

@johnnitschke If you are not using ubiquity wifi access points already, then I can only recommend them. Install a 2nd access point with same network ID and your devices will roam seamlessly.

Many of our companies are driving towards Rule of 40 but not all Ro40 paths are the same. Consider $100m ARR biz:

5 years of 20% ARR growth, 20% FCF =$50m in terminal FCF
vs
60%/-20% for 3 yrs then 2yrs 20%/20%=$118m terminal FCF

Better to grow ARR vs FCF if u can.
