This document discusses Sean Ellis's experience with moving from a "hustle" approach of focusing on Twitter engagement to drive growth, to implementing a more systematic "high tempo testing" process of launching 3 tests per week.

The process provides more predictable and scalable growth. An example test involving changing an email form's placement led to a 700

RUFing it out with Customer Feedback: Knowing the “Why”Atlassian
On one hand, Net Promoter Scores (NPS) are great for gauging how customers feel – but they don’t provide any specific insights. On the other hand, unstructured comments from support tickets and similar sources are rich with detail – but with 15,000 comments per week coming in, it was impossible to categorize and understand what that information actually meant. We needed a better way. Join the head of our Voice of the Customer team, Sean Cramer, to learn about the innovative system Atlassian has built: RUF (Reliability, Usability, Functionality). RUF categorizes, measures, and prioritizes issues gleaned from not just Net Promoter feedback, but from all our sources of customer feedback. Come learn how your organization can take Atlassian’s learnings, and use them to build a similar system for your organization.

Public SaaS companies are increasingly benchmarking their key metrics against competitors to understand how they compare. Benchmarking metrics include things like customer retention rates, revenue per customer, and sales & marketing efficiency. By understanding how they stack up across these critical metrics, SaaS companies can identify areas for improvement and develop strategies to better compete.
Private company marketplaces will provide liquidity for employees and investors while also giving companies access to growth capital. As these marketplaces grow and more companies adopt alternative liquidity programs, the lines will blur between late stage venture funds and hedge funds. Private company secondary markets are becoming more institutionalized as the majority of transactions move to listed marketplaces with regulatory oversight. This will further push out IPO timelines and expand the large, private late stage market.

Valuations: What is happening and does it matter?taliagold
This document analyzes valuation multiples and growth trends across different technology sectors including software as a service, marketplaces, consumer internet, and e-commerce from 1999-2015. It finds that while consumer internet multiples have remained steady in the past 5-10 years, SaaS valuations have increased 30-100% making it harder to generate high returns. Marketplace models command higher multiples than traditional e-commerce. Growth rates below 30% often lead to multiple compression. The document concludes that while valuations have increased, the sectors are not in a bubble and remain attractive compared to legacy sectors.

[WMD 2015] Qualaroo >> Sean Ellis, "The Advantages & Challenges Of High Tempo...500 Startups
This document discusses Sean Ellis's experience with moving from a "hustle" approach of focusing on Twitter engagement to drive growth, to implementing a process of "high tempo testing" with 3 tests per week.

The solution was to implement high tempo testing with a process of ideation, prioritization, and weekly testing assignments. This provided more predictable growth. Challenges included ensuring enough ideas, prioritizing them, implementing tests, accurate analysis, and avoiding repeats. The advantages included predictable, scalable growth and being able to more easily hire and address bottlenecks. An example test of moving an email collector higher on the
