Super interesting
Interesting. I believe this is strongly tied to how mature your product is and how much of a PLG process you have in place, at least in the case of growth start-ups. You can still aim for high ARR per FTE but it could not result in the expected efficiency - if your product doesnt drive automated process with regards to onboarding and diving adoption you need to have more people doing the job.
Exciting to see the upward trend in ARR per FTE for SaaS companies 💼📈
Impressive data on SaaS companies efficiency Keep up the great work. Ivan Landabaso

10moYeah I like that metric a lot. But recently I’ve seen companies hire a lot of graduates, so ARR per FTE is twisted. So you should always look at it compared to Opex per FTE or better ARR per $ of Opex
