What Rob Walling says most about
product management 2
- If monthly churn is 10% or higher, a company is effectively in the pre-product-market fit stage regardless of other metrics.
- Product-market fit is a spectrum rather than a binary state.
SaaS 2
- A transfer-friendly payment processor makes a SaaS business more universally appealing to buyers.
- SaaS products have a long ramp to substantial revenue, making them a riskier starting point than simpler projects.
