- ksahin 3y agoYes loss. 70% of the SaaS companies that IPO'd in the past five years are loosing money. The median operating margin is -21%. Source: https://blossomstreetventures.medium.com/q1-saas-metrics-data-638dada1c413 https://blossomstreetventures.medium.com/q1-saas-metrics-dat...

- ffhhttt 3y agoThat doesn’t include R&D & marketing costs which make them unprofitable overall. I guess they are betting that R&D costs are fixed(ish) or at least will grow slower than revenue. Which of course doesn’t always work, especially over the last few years where free money resulted in massive bloat.
