SaaStr

So there’s a perhaps obvious conversation everyone should be having, but isn’t: “Look, in 2023 we basically hid inside our existing customer base. We pushed through record price increases.

Martech

In 1961, the novel “Catch-22,” by Joseph Heller was published and its title immediately became short-hand for an all-too-familiar type of organizational lunacy: circular reasoning.
