The Best Roundtable For You And Your Business!

Our biggest priority at AceTech Ontario is to make sure each member is getting great value from their roundtable.  As your business changes and grows, you sometimes have different needs and requirements from the people in your group to help you get the most out of the experience.  That is why each fall we remind you to take a look at all the roundtables AceTech Ontario offers and make sure that you are still in the right one for you.

 

All the roundtables can be found at here including a brand new one that will be led by our own Jeremy Greven of Prompt Alert.  Please take a few minutes to review them, and if you think there is a better fit for you elsewhere please feel free to reach out to either Jo Ann or the roundtable leader to discuss.  Any movement needs to take place at the end of the year so the roundtables are set and stable beginning in January 2015.

SaaS Happiness - A Guide To Measuring and Managing What Matters

The true value of SaaS companies and their operation health is difficult to measure using traditional financial statements. To more accurately gauge financial and operational performance, one needs to look revenue churn, customer acquisition costs, customer lifetime  value and other operational metrics.

 

The beauty of SaaS companies from an investor perspective is that they lend themselves to data driven approach to measuring business performance (more so than other types of companies), making it easier to forecast their growth and therefore valuation.

 

Join ALKARIM JIVRAJ at Espresso Capital's SaaS Metrics Seminar in January as Alkarim walks you through the essential metrics used by leading SaaS investors and SaaS operators companies to measure operational and financial performance, and manage growth investments.  Further details and the invitations coming soon.
