“Innovation is the hottest word in business…

…but most of the discussion

centers around products and

services. The more profound

challenge for most companies

now is imagining a new business

model, a new answer to the

fundamental question, how do

we make money?”

“There’s been an evolution in America in terms of

the CFO. The CFO is increasingly being called

upon to weigh in on much more strategic

decisions involving the company, including

everything from transactions to providing

assessments of emerging markets and analyses

that go far beyond looking at the books and

determining whether there will be enough cash to

support investment.”

“CFOs’ responsibilities go well beyond finance into

balancing compliance and risk management with

business-performance goals. They have an

important role to play in reading and

understanding evolving business drivers and

helping their companies seize opportunities. CFOs

now spend more time on strategy and operating

issues and less on budgeting and accounting.”

With a GEI of 1.0 and churn at 15%, you’ll have 35% growth while maintaining break even. But only if deals are collected upfront and you’re cash flow positive.

But, if your GEI is 2.0 you’re growth will slow to 10% to break event.

Predictability allows longer-term thinking

No quarter-end pricing games

Oh yeah, investors give you a higher

valuation

Downside: longer ramp to scale from lack

of up front license fee

superior in every aspect

Perpetual license companies

On average, subscription

firms’ revenue growth

decelerated to ~18% from

30%+.

INTROSubscription goes

mainstream…• 30-50 subscription software

IPO’s over the next two years seems

reasonable.

• Hottest areas:

• Vertical SaaS

• Security/Systems Software

• Analytics

• Next Generation Marketing

• Caution:

• High valuations allow features

to think they’re companies.

• Instead, they give net dollar retention, which is inclusive of upsell

• In March 2014, investors transitioned

from GAAP to GARP– That means from “Growth at any Price”

to “Growth at a Reasonable Price”

• A quick trick we like to use: Revenue Growth + FCF Margin– Gold, Silver, Bronze: 50%, 40%, 30%– Change in G+M is an important

indicator as well Many trending down as growth rates

decelerate faster than margins ramp
