Yeah, May of 2018.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1384 CyberSecurity SaaS CarbonBlack Passes $200m ARR Charging $30/Device/per

So we're still early.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1384 CyberSecurity SaaS CarbonBlack Passes $200m ARR Charging $30/Device/per

And look, we're building something for the long term.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

If you keep the team focused on saying we're going to build a product long term, then you have a product strategy and you go against that product strategy as opposed to building something for revenue.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1384 CyberSecurity SaaS CarbonBlack Passes $200m ARR Charging $30/Device/per

Yep.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1384 CyberSecurity SaaS CarbonBlack Passes $200m ARR Charging $30/Device/per

The market has assigned a value to us and that's what...

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1384 CyberSecurity SaaS CarbonBlack Passes $200m ARR Charging $30/Device/per

Yeah, I think, well, look, you touched on it a little bit, and I'm not sure we have it 100% right, but one of the things we have tried to do is to educate our employees and our teams on what the important metrics are for the company.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And again, as you get larger, it gets perhaps harder to do that, but we really try and do that because I think it's important that everyone understand what makes a business go.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1384 CyberSecurity SaaS CarbonBlack Passes $200m ARR Charging $30/Device/per

Well, internally, the company, obviously, we're focused on growth and we focused heavily on ARR and recurring revenue.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

We pulled those two apart.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1384 CyberSecurity SaaS CarbonBlack Passes $200m ARR Charging $30/Device/per

We certainly talk a lot about retention and churn internally with the company.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1384 CyberSecurity SaaS CarbonBlack Passes $200m ARR Charging $30/Device/per

We think that's critical.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1384 CyberSecurity SaaS CarbonBlack Passes $200m ARR Charging $30/Device/per

And then gross margins.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1384 CyberSecurity SaaS CarbonBlack Passes $200m ARR Charging $30/Device/per

As a cloud company, a lot of people don't talk enough, in our opinion, about gross margins.

Obviously, gross margins are really, really important for internal employees to understand.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

I'm watching what's going on at Microsoft.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

I think it's really, really the transformation that's going on over there and the ability to do that at a company at that size is amazing.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

My favorite online tool, it's not a tool, it's HBR.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1384 CyberSecurity SaaS CarbonBlack Passes $200m ARR Charging $30/Device/per

I listen to HBR and I read HBR.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1384 CyberSecurity SaaS CarbonBlack Passes $200m ARR Charging $30/Device/per

Yeah, absolutely.
