In my experience, VC's always want to know GAAP revenue because it's a way to compare apples to apples. We both know it's not perfect in that regard, and that cash is king, and they know that too, but that's the primary, standard metric. The good ones want to see both, so they really understand...
I was involved with a SaaS product that launched a landing page and made clear that the product was still in development, but that we would give earliest access to people who pre-paid for the product. We also allowed people to choose what they paid, and promised them that payment would stay in-e...
Angel groups don't necessarily get that involved. You would want to look for angels that have that background and are looking for active engagement with it's clients. I actually work in this space on behalf of some investors if you would like to talk.
Hi! Congratulations on your impending US expansion! I'd love to provide a perspective if I may. I'm a UK citizen, SaaS expert, now living in the Bay Area. I'm also a member of the UK Government's new GBx initiative which is specifically designed to help provide support to UK companies expanding i...

Take a look at Intermedia, from what I can tell they are a favorite of VARs and are also in the Ingram Micro cloud catalog (along w/ Box). Xero also has some level of reseller relationship with accountants but that is more than just a typical VAR or disti model, since the accountant remains deep...
1. Money. 2. Leads. 3. Education. If you're saying margin is an issue, you should skew to the side of education and lead funnel model. At the end of the day, most good partners will always go with the vendors that are going to make them the most money. You should be rewarding the most loyal with ...
In theory, sure. In practice, to do this you'd need to find a mostly foolproof way of knowing who was "good" when they signed up*. Will the team reviewing be able to KNOW who is likely to be good? if not, you're just providing friction for signups. This is a perfect thing to test. I'd use c...
