Companies that do 100 million, usually they don't have 150 people.

Say that again.

But in the enterprise software space, it's...

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1066 Optimove CEO: "Conditions Were Right To Stop Bootstrapping w/ $20m Raise"

Usually there's like a metric that says, okay, so how much you're making per employee.

1066 Optimove CEO: "Conditions Were Right To Stop Bootstrapping w/ $20m Raise"

It is like SAS revenue per employee.

So, and of course, companies that raise money and pre-hire, they tilt the odds.
