Very cool!

Yep. More the smaller the deal. Sub $1M ARR, it can be 10-20%

Yep couldn’t agree more that prep is important. And yeah often someone coming inbound is the most keen (though they still need managing to get the biggest outcome in my experience)…

So transaction multiples for us tend to be 5-8x (higher over $10M ARR), with outliers to 15-20x+ But the bigger issue is what you’re alluding to - lots of founders don’t really und…

Great content and perspective. I would say (and fair warning, this is obviously biased as I run one of the investment banks that specialize in B2B SaaS M&A between $2-20M ARR - Dis…

I do deals a fair bit larger than this, and so am obviously biased, but while this sounds appealing, the fact is that only once or twice out of the couple of dozen times I’ve heard…

This is cool, but it is not obvious to me if this is a web app or a native Mac or what - some screenshots, a video or at least a description of how and where this runs would be hel…

We get a lot of applications so it’s impossible to give detailed feedback to every rejection unfortunately. The main reason we reject are: 1. not B2B SaaS 2. No revenue 3. Churn 4.…

I’m one of the co-founders of TinySeed (and a YC alumn). Happy to answer questions - we’re opening applications Sept 4th

For the same reason PG proposed turning HN off “during office hours” several years back

Main one missing from Norwegian is “harry” in my view. It means. Ehm.. not cool, specifically in a sort of crass/low brow kind of way. Like I said, hard to explain.

Ben. Can you unsubscribe me from your email list? I used to be a subscriber, but after you decided to publish on Twitter some PMs that were meant as peace offerings, I’d like to no…

AFAIK approximately all “no-stir” peanut butters only have peanuts in them. People don’t buy them because the oil floats to the top and causes a mess and if you don’t stir, then th…

What are you talking about, my god.

It doesn’t sound like you’ve been to western Norway.

The notion that you cannot keep wood treatment on anything in the UK is ludicrous. You can choose to leave raw wood exposed, or you can chose to treat it every 5-10 years. Source: …

If only 5% of CA water is urban use, then surely the subsidy is minimal. Also - driving the Central Valley I see no end of “Congress stole our water” signs, so clearly some change …

Okay great!

Well, something like 1/3rd of all the vegetables and 2/3rds of all the fruit in the US is grown in California. Where do you propose this gets grown instead?
