Our notes

Jason Cohen argues that most SaaS growth plateaus come from the founder's own choices rather than the market. He shows how to calculate the MRR ceiling your churn rate implies, what cancellation patterns say about product-market fit, why underpricing holds you back, and how a vague ideal customer profile weakens every channel. He also questions whether revenue is really the thing that has stalled.
