Some controversial takeaways from Not Finding Product/Market Fit…
Startup pains are well-documented in this candid post that highlights key lessons from missing product/market fit. Points 7 and 8 are particularly striking:
7. Most people value the small tuning work they do to present a story around data. They don’t actually want the data shared with anyone at the company without their ability to interpret it for them.
8. Most people don’t want to be more efficient. They feel that the time they spend moving data around, updating documents, and holding update-based meetings is what they get paid to do, rather than busywork that steals time from driving outcomes.

A3x7, my favorite engagement metric
B2B SaaS companies often use standard metrics like daily, weekly, and monthly active users (DAU, WAU, MAU). While those are valuable, this post makes the case for A3x7 — the number of users active 3 out of 7 days a week — because it identifies the truly obsessed users who consistently rely on your product each week.
AI floods finance
“We’ve reached peak AI,” CFO Brew states. “Companies in the U.S. are spending 10.1% of their IT budgets on AI right now, on average, with the intention of increasing their AI budgets by an average of 16.9% next year and 24.6% in the next three years.”
Good reminder heading into the weekend: maintain work-life balance and remember that work doesn’t need to make you miserable.
