- cormacrelf 5y ago(Principles. Lots of people making this error these days. A principal is e.g. of a school, or a loan.)
- aspenmayer 5y agoPrincipal investor is a term of art in the industry. It has other financial meanings as well. Principles are ideals you adhere to or uphold. They are also concepts used to implement a design. Principal and principle are homophones, and they are commonly mixed up. https://www.law.cornell.edu/definitions/uscode.php?def_id=12-USC-1100363702-1484898689 https://www.law.cornell.edu/definitions/uscode.php?def_id=12... https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/principal.asp#understanding-principal-private-companies https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/principal.asp#understan...
- cormacrelf 5y agoAre you disagreeing with me?
- aspenmayer 5y agoNo, I was just trying to disambiguate the terms. Sorry if it came off that way.
- jmacd 5y agoYeah, some guy in finance wrote a whole book using that stupid term!
- skrebbel 5y agoFor a data point, they bought Baremetrics and immediately removed the cancel button (which itself is a Baremetrics feature!). Now you have to call them to cancel. I guess that is exactly the kind of stuff you'd expect a SaaS PE firm to do, but it still feels a bit sleazy to me. IIRC the founder reported that from his perspective, they handled the purchase well though.
- selcuka 5y agoThey probably have a checklist of best practices (depending on the interpretation of "best") they immediately apply to almost every SaaS they purchase.
