How coronavirus is impacting revenue

This week, Justin called up Josh Pigford, founder of Baremetrics:


Baremetrics does analytics for SaaS companies

I called him up just to get a sense of how this pandemic (and
looming recession) has already started to affect different SaaS
companies

He's already noticing some trends: "A lot of SaaS companies
are seeing the biggest loss they've seen in the past 4 weeks.
I've heard from some companies that are seeing a 10-20% decrease
in MRR."

"Payroll is the biggest challenge over the next year. Payroll
is our biggest expense."

How are you going to ride this out?

"We use Flight Path + Baremetrics to forecast revenue and
expenses."

Justin's tweet: "here are the companies doing well right
now."

A preview of a new feature that Baremetrics is building:
automated email messaging for SaaS companies.

Josh's side-projects: Cedar + Sail, Lasertweets
