What will qualify as "fast-growing" in this climate?
- nbstme 4y agoThanks for your comment. Stocks got hammered but SaaS businesses continue to grow. Zoom is growing 50% YoY, Datadog 80% YoY...
- snehasish 4y agoInterested in what you think about startups like Flexport - 2021 3.3B in revenue (80% passthrough) = 660M net. Their last round in Jan 2022 was ~1B. So "hype ratio" < 2. Am I looking at this right?
- HFguy 4y agoThey are certainly growing. But not much profits in many cases. The real question is can they generate a lot of cash once they are out of hyper growth mode? Or will they just never generate much cash flow ever?
