Seven years ago we tried to answer the question of what it takes to raise capital in SaaS in 2016. We took the idea of back-of-a-napkin answers a little too literally, and the rest is (SaaS) history. ;-) Excited to launch the 2023 version!

Simple and elegant. Love the insights as it helps demystify some of the pre/seed discussions I’ve been having with myself. Cheers!
Love it! I think this is the best noise-to-value ratio I've seen in a while with funding content. Thank you sooo much for this Christoph, it's going to be super helpful for us.
@chrija Thanks for the update! Was actually talking to a friend this week when there will be the next update :D
