What is ARPU? 6 Tips to Optimize and Grow Your Average Revenue Per User

In 2009, my mentor Dharmesh Shah (co-founder of Hubspot) sat in my office in San Francisco and casually dropped an acronym I hadn’t heard. “We want to increase our ARPU”, he said. I smiled and nodded… but the blank stare on my face was a giveaway. I was clueless.

[Escape Velocity] – Episode 41 – Christoph Janz at Nine Point Capital

Back in 2012, when I raised $1.6M in funding for Clarity.fm, I insisted on squeezing more out of my investors. When I put together the final cap table, I made it clear that I also wanted introductions with other investors and businesses on their portfolio.  They told me, “Dan, you’re asking a lot here…” But I put my foot down.

What Is a Customer Success Manager & What Do They Do for a SaaS Business?

“What the $%&# is a CSM… and how is that going to make me money?!” When I started out in business nearly 20 years ago, there was no such thing as a CSM. Those 3 letters just didn’t go together.
