As more and more investors look into SaaS than ever before, especially in light of the current crisis, what are the steps you need to go through in order to prepare for your next fundraising round? What are the benchmarks to measure whether you’re being offered a fair price, and what is a 'fair' price in today's uncertain environment? How do you evaluate this to determine the validity of an offer? Should you hold in and cash out, or should you continue to retain control of your company and grow your businesses through alternative capital? If you’re an early stage startup looking to secure your series A from the growing number of local investors eyeing SaaS, how do you secure an initial or another round of investment?Check out the other ways SaaStock is serving SaaS founders 🇮🇪 SaaStock Dublin 2024: The largest concentration of SaaS decision makers in one place for three days of networking, connecting, and learning all things SaaS (https://saastock-europe.com/) 🤝 SaaStock Founder Membership: A private members group of B2B SaaS founders between $100K - $10M ARR who are committed to growth and helping others (https://www.saastock.com/founder-membership/) 🌎 SaaStock Local: Monthly meet-ups in cities all around the world, bringing together SaaS enthusiasts and experts to discuss the most pressing topics in SaaS (https://local.saastock.com/home)

This extra-special episode of The SaaS Revolution Show comes straight from the online stage at SaaStock Remote. Join Mathilde Collin, CEO and co-founder of Front, in conversation with Alyssa Newcomb, technology reporter for Today.com and NBC News, as they discuss designing for quiet in product and in business. There's a huge amount of 'noise' in our working lives: emails, slack notifications, calendar reminders, social media alerts... With companies across the world working remotely, we've turned that digital volume up to 11 as we double down on team communication. But this always-on, noisy culture kills focus, eats away at our mental health, and ultimately prevents us from doing our most impactful work. As the background digital noise increases, what can we do - as product owners, as founders and as leaders - to help our users, our teams, and ultimately ourselves find some quiet again?Check out the other ways SaaStock is serving SaaS founders 🇮🇪 SaaStock Dublin 2024: The largest concentration of SaaS decision makers in one place for three days of networking, connecting, and learning all things SaaS (https://saastock-europe.com/) 🤝 SaaStock Founder Membership: A private members group of B2B SaaS founders between $100K - $10M ARR who are committed to growth and helping others (https://www.saastock.com/founder-membership/) 🌎 SaaStock Local: Monthly meet-ups in cities all around the world, bringing together SaaS enthusiasts and experts to discuss the most pressing topics in SaaS (https://local.saastock.com/home)
