@nathanlatka's site and podcasts are an absolute gold mine of information around SaaS. I've learned a tremendous amount from them and if you're in the field it is work familiarising yourself as closely as possible with all your peers. Great to see even more data still in there.

Been following Nathan's data-centric content and there's always something to learn. Some questions the authenticity but this is as close as it can get for private company data.

Pros:

Authenticity of the data and the candor in the manner it is collected.

Cons:

Not that I know of

Nathan Latka
Thanks Arpit ❀️

@nathanlatka love all your insights and how you conduct interviews. The straight forward approach and simple thinking is refreshing in a world of metrics and complexity of running businesses. I'm looking forward getting an interview set up, bro. Justin and Tara are friends and originally in our mastermind group for real estate investors called; Collective Genius. It would be awesome to get Founder of that mastermind which so happens to be my best bud, on your Podcast too. I upvoted you!

I listen to Nathan's podcast all the time. Would have even paid for it, had it not been free. Highly recommended to anyone who's in SaaS.

This is an invaluable resource if you need to research saas companies. Also a great way to benchmark your own growth.

Pros:

Solid data from reliable sources

Cons:

Integrate or cross reference it with Crunchbase.

Thanks for the hunt @hnshah We put this list together to bring more transparency to the private B2B SaaS space with the goal of congratulating companies that are driving growth. Not vanity growth though (users/etc), real ARR growth. We started by: 1. Inviting SaaS CEO's on my podcast 2. Asking CEO's what their Dec 2017 MRR was and then asking Dec 2018 MRR 3. After spending 1000+ hours interviewing thousands of CEO's, we then ranked them based off who grew ARR the fastest over the past 12 months for this report Braving the cold in NYC today hunkered down at a coffee shop to be in comments with you guys all day. Anything you guys think we should add in terms of sorting and filtering? Thanks! 😻
Nathan Latka
Just wanted to tell everyone thank you for the comments and feedback in the reviews yesterday here on PH. Today, going back into mockup/prod development mode!
Anton Viborniy

Chris Heron

Love the magazine too!

Pros:

Real data from the horses mouth

Cons:

I don't really know anyone delivering SaaS data in this way, I can't say I can think of a way to improve it right now
