• Baremetrics does analytics for SaaS companies
• I called him up just to get a sense of how this pandemic (and looming recession) has already started to affect different SaaS companies
• He's already noticing some trends: "A lot of SaaS companies are seeing the biggest loss they've seen in the past 4 weeks. I've heard from some companies that are seeing a 10-20% decrease in MRR."
• "Payroll is the biggest challenge over the next year. Payroll is our biggest expense."
• How are you going to ride this out?
• "We use Flight Path) + Baremetrics) to forecast revenue and expenses."
• Justin's tweet): "here are the companies doing well right now."
• A preview of a new feature that Baremetrics is building: automated email messaging for SaaS companies.
