So, you know, there's a correction point that we've had to make and

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

I'm pretty proud of the business growth that we've had over the last couple of years and want to continue that.

I think very few people would want to talk about their P&L on a podcast.

Your comment brings me back to some conversations I've had in my career with venture capitalists when they say, you know, like, oh, the analytics space, that's a really crowded space.
