In 2009, my mentor Dharmesh Shah (co-founder of Hubspot) sat in my office in San Francisco and casually dropped an acronym I hadn’t heard.
“We want to increase our ARPU”, he said.
I smiled and nodded… but the blank stare on my face was a giveaway.
I was clueless.
When someone as abundantly successful as the co-founder of a company now valued at over $14B (Yes, B for BILLION) mentions what his company is trying to do…
You take notes.

You already know I’m pumped about SaaS metrics.
I don’t follow sports.
I follow numbers and work with SaaS founders like you to get true visibility about what is and is not working in a tech business… and then how to DO something about it.
You don’t have to love it as much as I do.
But you’ve got to know what these metrics mean.
Hit play on the video and let’s get us both on the same page, yeah?
