“We heard the same concern over and over again: a panic over giving up control.” is how @Benioff described initial reactions to SaaS replacing on-premise, until the value of SaaS won out. It'll be the same story with Smart Contracts, as their ability to deliver value improves

Knowing what I know now ...if I wanted to make a lot of money and was willing to put in 15-20 years of hard work I'd tell my younger self to start an enterprise SaaS co and work tirelessly to get positive net revenue retention w/ little VC. Enterprise SaaS > every other biz

"Despite telling ourselves and the world that software roadmaps are a bad idea for well over a decade, we still made the mistake with HEY and custom domains. I'm sympathetic to why we did that, but a mistake it was." world.hey.com/dhh/don-t-prom…

I mean, the category name seems way off.... but I got onboarded onto @vimcal yesterday and can confirm it is absolutely incredible. Night and day difference from any cal app I’ve used, very obviously worth the price. Maybe it’s “Craftsman-SaaS” Tools that take users seriously twitter.com/hvpandya/statu…

This instantly became one of my favorite sentences ever from a TinySeed founder update (quoted with permission): "To get around this [issue], I've forked the Chromium codebase..." This is why I love what I do. I so admire the ingenuity of founders.

Most of the time "audience first" advice comes from someone who is in the info product space. There are a few obvious exceptions of audience-first SaaS. MeetEdgar, Leadpages, and WebinarNinja come to mind. All 3 founded by info product folks.
