So you're, you're still seeing it bounce around, but we're, we're always keeping it under that sort of, I want to keep it under 10 and 10 month payback.

Oh man.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1202 He Raised $20m+ in First Company, Now Bootstrapping in B2B Sales Tech Space, $1m in ARR

I, you know, I don't think about LTV and SAS.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1202 He Raised $20m+ in First Company, Now Bootstrapping in B2B Sales Tech Space, $1m in ARR

I just look at the CAC ratio and the, and the, and the payback period.

Cause I think when you start doing LTV on a half a percent of churn on an early cohort, it's like your LTV is a hundred years or something.

1202 He Raised $20m+ in First Company, Now Bootstrapping in B2B Sales Tech Space, $1m in ARR

Right.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1202 He Raised $20m+ in First Company, Now Bootstrapping in B2B Sales Tech Space, $1m in ARR

And so you just get this weird equation.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1202 He Raised $20m+ in First Company, Now Bootstrapping in B2B Sales Tech Space, $1m in ARR

So I really just think about, you know, I think about those components, the renewal rate and the CAC and then the CAC payback and the ACV growing obviously is important, but I don't really think LTV.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1202 He Raised $20m+ in First Company, Now Bootstrapping in B2B Sales Tech Space, $1m in ARR

Uh, no.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So we, we look at it as, as renewal rates, since we're doing annual deals, we have a few legacy.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1202 He Raised $20m+ in First Company, Now Bootstrapping in B2B Sales Tech Space, $1m in ARR

I think we have three month to month payers left from the old days, but you know, everything now is on an annual deal.

So I look at renewal rates.

Um, I pulled this up cause I knew you'd ask, but our, so our, uh,

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1202 He Raised $20m+ in First Company, Now Bootstrapping in B2B Sales Tech Space, $1m in ARR

If I just look at everybody who's renewed over the last 18 months, we have a 99.5% dollar gross renewal rate.

But Nathan, it's like these early cohorts, you need to be that high.

Like these are your early adopters, the people who are like loving your product, they're willing to take a chance on you.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1202 He Raised $20m+ in First Company, Now Bootstrapping in B2B Sales Tech Space, $1m in ARR

So I don't know that's indicative of actually where... That's net dollar retention?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1202 He Raised $20m+ in First Company, Now Bootstrapping in B2B Sales Tech Space, $1m in ARR

No, that's gross.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1202 He Raised $20m+ in First Company, Now Bootstrapping in B2B Sales Tech Space, $1m in ARR

That is gross, okay.
