SaaStr in Wall Street Journal, And Why You’re Probably Going to Add/Have an Overseas Dev Team to Help You Scale

SaaStr in Wall Street Journal, And Why You’re Probably Going to Add/Have an Overseas Dev Team to Help You Scale

The Wall Street Journal asked me to write about a topic which I think is critical to all scaling SaaS companies:  talent, and talent outside the U.S. The reality is almost every SaaS company I’ve worked with, including my own, just can’t get enough engineering talent in the SF Bay Area, or NYC, or even […]

How Not to Do a Newsletter

By Basab Pradhan on March 17, 2011

I get most of my reading done via twitter. I follow a bunch of smart people who essentially filter all that’s out there to what is truly worthy of reading. My feed reader is getting less and less airtime nowadays. But there are some bloggers who don’t tweet their posts so one has to go […]

Keeping Score: Exit Activity for Venture Backed Companies in 2010

By Michael Fauscette on January 5, 2011

Consolidation in the Outsourcing and Consulting spaces

Consolidation in the Outsourcing and Consulting spaces

By Brian Sommer on July 13, 2010

Image via Wikipedia Last week, I discussed the Booz & Co./A.T. Kearney merger that didn’t go through and why deals like that are sometimes problematic.

Google… The Worm Turns?

Google… The Worm Turns?

By Jeff Nolan on April 20, 2010

Google has been a remarkable company to watch over the years, operating as a pure product company that reflected Microsoft in it’s prime, which is just to say when Microsoft could make or break a new market by simply introducing a new product.
