Really excited to be adding to our team again! Next up is a content manager, who'll have the opportunity to grow and launch our video and article series, manage a freelancer stable, support our team on thought leadership, and collaborate directly with founders in our portfolio.

With cybersecurity M&A hitting $25B in 2023, you'd think more funding equals better exits. But SentinelOne's product chief (Ely Kahn) doesn’t quite agree. The reality? While most security startups burn through $900K monthly chasing growth, strategic buyers are looking for lean teams with sustainable financials. Watch the full episode featuring Ely, hosted by Tobias Citron with the link in the comments.

I've said it before and I'll say it over and over again: there are two major pitfalls that rate-limit executives' ability in the C-Suite: under-indexing on 1) "First Team" leadership and 2) P&L command. In 2023 Primary Venture Partners launched our "On the Business" program to help senior women in SaaS (C- and VP-levels only) buck these trends and excel in the executive suite and the boardroom. 15 months later, we've reached more than 600 women, have an NPS of 91, a <2% no show rate (including ZERO no shows at our most recent SF event), and were recently featured in Forbes. ....and we're now BAAA-AAACK with our next NYC installment, happening Monday 3/3 in partnership with HSBC. The agenda is still being finalized, but here's a taste of what to expect... 🥇 The "Core Four" for Great Executives - yours truly will review my "core four" traits that propel the top 1% of SaaS executives: P&L command, First Team mindset, market perspective and a strategic network. 💰 P&L Fluency for Every Function - Isabelle Winkles, CFO at Braze, will offer a perspective on connecting operating metrics to financial metrics and will demystify topics such as working capital, debt and valuation. 🤖 Understanding the AI/Infra Market Landscape in 2025 - Lauri J. Moore, Partner at Bessemer Venture Partners (and former AI entrepreneur!), will offer a rich overview of what's happening in the world of AI, infrastructure and everything in between based on her work leading early-stage investments in these categories. 🤝 Mapping Your Path to CEO: Nail the Numbers - Wendi Sturgis, CEO at Cleverbridge and former CRO/CCO/European CEO at Yext, will share learnings from an impressive journey that started in operations and FP&A and evolved into customer-facing exec roles and ultimately, her current CEO seat (along with several private and public company board positions). 📊 Using Numbers to Advance Your Plan - Kim Peretti, Chief Customer Officer at Restaurant365 and former CCO at Klaviyo, will review her playbook for leveraging her P&L command to build more compelling strategic plans (and more importantly, to execute on those plans!) and offer tips and tricks for getting cross-functional buy-in on business/investment proposals. 📈 Unlocking Your Cheapest Form of Growth in 2025 - as investors think more about efficient growth this year, I'll share tactics and considerations for improving your net dollar retention rate and ARR per employee. 🧠 Our amazing portfolio company 1mind will offer a live demonstration on their AI superhumans for GTM teams. Apply by Friday 2/14 to join us; as always, if you're accepted, the event is free to attend. https://lnkd.in/e9iwF7EU
