So Monday.com has filed to IPO with some pretty incredible numbers, especially considering just how competitive the space is. At $240m in ARR, they are growing a stunning 85% year-over-year! And that’s with direct and indirect competition from Asana, Atlassian, Clickup, Wrike, Smartsheet, Notion and so many others. Pretty incredible for a product that just launched in 2014.

So three of my personal favorite SaaS companies finally went public, Squarespace, Procore and UiPath. Squarespace is a personal favorite (and one we run many SaaStr sites on) because it took a category of software that was a commodity and often a free give-away and made it magical. Procore is a personal favorite because it did vertical SaaS the hard way, with many mid-market deals, and made it a tenacious success.

We sales people have adopted a unique vocabulary about what we do and how we work. In some sense, it’s not unusual, every profession has words that help them do their work. When I talk to software developers, I get lost a couple of sentences after they say the word “code… (either the noun or verb).” Likewise, as financial types start talking “debits, credits, etc.” I start getting a little dizzy.

Q: When startup founders exit, how many start new companies? It’s pretty common. Many founders learn they aren’t “done” after all after selling. Sometimes it takes some time to see that, and the gap between starting a new one in many cases is a year or longer. But many do it again, even after relatively large exits with live-changing economics. Jyoti Bansal sold AppDynamics to Cisco for almost $4B.

Too often, we get coaching wrong–if we do coaching at all. We tend to think of it as something we do to some poor victim, something we do for them. Seldom do we think of it as something we do with someone, and in that, we miss huge opportunities. Let me dissect this. Too many managers think of coaching as something we do to someone. These managers inflict their opinions and direct the coachee. “You need to get you numbers up!
