SaaS benchmarks on demand

Nice post on SaaS metrics from a company that provides a (software) service that allows one to benchmark your metrics against the wider world. Yet another thing that consultants would normally do now as a service!

SaaS org heuristics

Nice little post that has some interesting heuristics on the number of people in each role per stage for SaaS companies. e.g. Typical ratios:

• 10% G&A : 40% R&D : 50% S&M
• 1 Manager : 5-10 Reports
• 1 SDR : 2 AE
• 1 Sales Ops : 10 AE
• 1 PM : 5-8 Dev
• 1 DevOps : 15 Dev
• 1 Design : 5-10 Dev
• 1 User Research : 10 Design
• At IPO: $100k per employee

Worth a peek.
