Outbound has never been easier When I started with cold emailing ...it was a PAIN to: 4.) Buy domains 3.) Set up inboxes 2.) Find +60-80% emails 1.) Send them out at scale Luckily, things just got 10x easier these days. 1.) + 3.) + 4.) can be done in a single tool. A few clicks, and you're ready to go. For 2.), just get a list from Apollo/LinkedIn. And find the emails with BetterContact. It combines every relevant email finder/verifier. (because a single tool only finds ~30-50%) Meaning: you only need 1 subscription, and not 5-6. So yes, getting started is easy. But still, it takes time to: - find relevant leads and triggers - send excellent cold emails at scale - assess the right dose of personalization Do you think getting started in cold emailing is hard? 👇

Jean de la Fontaine theorized the SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) industry in 1668! Anachronistic, you say? And yet ... ... Jean de la Fontaine's fable "The Miser Who Lost His Treasure" begins with: "Only use makes possession." An absolute mantra for the software-as-a-Service industry. But that's not all. In this fable, a miser buries his treasure and visits it daily, without ever using it. One day, he discovers that his treasure has been stolen and laments his loss. The moral of the story is clear: an unused treasure is as useless as if it did not exist. This lesson strongly resonates in the SaaS sector. Many companies invest heavily in cutting-edge software but do not fully leverage its potential. Here are some parallels to consider: ⚙️ Maximizing resource utilization: Investing in SaaS without fully integrating it into business processes is akin to burying a treasure. To maximize return on investment, it is crucial to use all the features offered by the software. 🧑‍💻 Training and adoption: Just as the miser did not benefit from his treasure, teams need to be trained and encouraged to use SaaS tools optimally. Continuous training and user adoption are essential to prevent the tool from becoming merely a cost rather than an asset. 🎚 Monitoring and adjustment: Just as the miser should have monitored his treasure more closely, companies need to monitor the use of SaaS solutions and adjust their strategy based on feedback and changing needs. 🔝 Innovation and evolution: Unlike the static treasure in the fable, SaaS solutions are constantly evolving. Companies must stay informed about updates and new features to continue getting the most out of them. Don't let your SaaS investments turn into unused treasures. Fully exploit them to transform your operations and drive innovation. #SaaS #DigitalTransformation #JeanDeLaFontaine #ROI #Innovation #ChangeManagement

CTO roles and responsibility change depends on organization. If you are in early stage startup where you and few of your co-founder is the only employee. The only reason you call yourself a cto is to make your company big than it actually is. You are more of hacker than a cto. Your responsibility is to build the product not to do strategic planning long term as your mvp might not survive the next iteration.

AI players arouse mistrust among the general public. The majority of Americans believe that companies specializing in Artificial Intelligence (AI) prioritize profits over security and ethics. According to a study from the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University, California, more than half of Americans believe that companies developing AI technologies are not ethical. And almost 90% of them would be in favor of stronger regulation. A strong sign, in a country that is rather resistant to administrative constraints. Despite this phase of strong adversity, the AI ​​sector could reverse the trend and restore its image. Markkula's survey shows that a large proportion of those questioned “like” AI: 48% believe that these technologies currently have a positive impact on their lives, and 45% are “very enthusiastic” or “rather enthusiastic” about the potential of AI for the future. Experts are also optimistic. But only after awareness and a radical change among players in the sector. No more Ethics-washing in AI! Is that conceivable?

#SaaS | #venturecapital : "What's Wrong with SaaS? - An insightful piece from Avenir . Key Takeaways- (1) #Software remains a significant sector with hundreds of high-quality businesses. Within it, SaaS has suffered in recent prime years primarily due to deterioriating fundamentals, NOT a change in the valuation paradigm. The dearth of software #IPOs is due to mismatched expectations, NOT a shuttered IPO market. Today's private -high growth software companies can and probably should IPO. (2) The simplest explanation for deteriorating fundamentals is that we have passed the center of the SaaS S-curve and incremental revenue will be harder to come by going forward at the sector level. So far, SaaS companies have responded to this by spending more, leading to deteriorating sales efficiency and underperformance. What management teams have referred to as "tough macro" is likely a new normal. (3) Though growth will be harder to come by, it will still be meaningful. #AI represents a promising new #product development vector, and incumbents will generally be beneficiaries. Either way, SaaS companies have a long way to go before they are run in a financially sound way - multiples for the group could well be higher in a few years based on improving profitability and financial discipline. https://lnkd.in/gaUeVGJV

Let's go. Following up on the #ridiculous cost to start as self-employed in Belgium (🥉 in the cost to register, woop woop), we got to discuss what should happen to enable more citizens to #start as self-employed with Robin Gille at La Libre 🎙️. The article here (in French) ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eVvZjcsp #Keytakeaways - The cost to register is indeed only the 1st barrier: next up are social contributions (min. nearly 900€ in 2024, before you earned your first €) - Private companies and local communities can help but, in the end, it's up to policymakers to set the frame & lower those costs. - It's up to us to push those regulators to up their game. This question isn’t just a business issue, it’s a societal one: by imposing high set-up costs, we discourage our brightest minds from pursuing their passion & entrepreneurial dreams 💭. We all lose out on potential advancements, job creation, and economic dynamism. Being self-employed already comes with many hurdles, and extra financial stress simply makes it harder. Let’s continue this conversation and build a future where everyone has the opportunity to succeed without unnecessary financial barriers ✨. Thank you Robin Gille for the nice conversation 💜
