SaaS Founders, want to see how your metrics stack up against other SaaS companies? We are partnering with Emergence Capital to help founders benchmark their key metrics in the 2025 Beyond Benchmarks Report. Last year, 600+ B2B software companies participated in the Beyond Benchmarks report. Here are a few key takeaways from the 2024 report: - GenAI adoption is accelerating — but monetization remains a challenge. - Fundraising has shifted — investors are more selective, but some sectors remain hot. - Sales efficiency is evolving — companies are adjusting to longer sales cycles & cost pressures. Take the 2025 survey to uncover new insights and see how your key metrics compare to your peers: https://lnkd.in/gd29KBRT

Raising capital is challenging. In addition to having stellar metrics, founders must build relationships with investors within a short timeframe. Typically, investors require context and data about a company to make a decision, a process that can take months. When Jason M. Lemkin of SaaStr Fund was asked how to approach investors and expedite fundraising, his answer was: " - Try to build a relationship with your Top 2-3 Choices for investors as early as you can, if possible - Keep them updated - Then, when you are ready to raise capital … let them know early" Learn more from Jason about how to approach investors in his SaaStr blog here: https://lnkd.in/geBmSZxp
