## 1. SaaS METRIC OF THE WEEK

EBITDA **-** the acronym's been called "Earnings Before I Trick Dumb Accountants." [EBITDA strips out non-operating noise](https://www.mostlymetrics.com/p/the-history-of-ebitda)—but misuse is rampant. MostlyMetrics charts its messy history and relevance in SaaS.

## 2. HANDOFF

To add onto above, the customer journey will have plenty of touch points and handoffs. Chartmogul provides some [great tips on customer handoff](https://blog.chartmogul.com/sales-customer-success-handoff) from sales to Customer Success teams.

## 3. ENTERPRISE AI

Check the [State of Enterprise AI report](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/kkrxyppvpaujeerksgspw/State-of-Enterprise-AI-February-2026-1.pdf?rlkey=ayjsgdi19bbrmm0bfzn19rss0&dl=0), Enterprises aren't failing at AI adoption - they're failing at measuring it. Execs think they have visibility, but most can't link usage to outcomes. The gap between "we bought it" and "it works" is now a competitive divide.

## 4. POWER USERS

Most SaaS products follow a [power-law](https://andrewchen.com/power-user-curve) - a small cohort drives the majority of usage and value. Which means that DAU/MAU hides some of your truths. The Power User Curve shows who actually drives engagement - and whether you have a real core.

## 5. UNIT OF WORK

How the heck do we all quantify what a "unit of work" is with AI? In SaaS, we all know it pretty well - it's a user capacity or a workflow. In AI, it's waaaaay fuzzier. [This post](https://blog.nilenso.com/blog/2025/09/15/ai-unit-of-work/) digs into how designing around discrete, value-linked units will make AI tools more usable (and billable).

## 6. BRAIN FRY

AI can create burnout y'all! This HBR piece shows "agent overload" is a real thing - rapid-fire outputs and multi-agent workflows can overwhelm our cognition - but structured AI use reduces fatigue. The gap isn't usage; it's how you design the interaction.

## 7. CRYPTO

A new [investigation from the NY Times](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/08/business/bitcoin-satoshi-nakamoto-identity-adam-back.html?unlocked_article_code=1.ZVA.mpGi.4ZhScm2ojHpa&smid=url-share&user_id=66c4c1c3600ae150758d37b0) claims Bitcoin's creator (famously under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto) may be Adam Back, a British cryptographer and early cypherpunk (though he strongly denies it). The mystery remains, but the scale is clear: Satoshi is believed to control roughly $70B in Bitcoin, untouched since the network's early days.

## 8. AI

Holy smokes - Anthropic's restricted "[Claude Mythos Preview](https://au.pcmag.com/ai/117012/anthropic-our-new-model-is-so-powerful-only-a-few-partners-can-try-it-out)" reportedly identified thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities across major operating systems and browsers. In response, Anthropic launched [Project Glasswing](https://www.anthropic.com/glasswing), which is a $100M coalition with Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, NVIDIA, and others to patch their shit - and by shit, I mean "[critical infrastructure](https://tomtunguz.com/mythos-glasswing/)" before models like this hit prime time.

## 9. CAPITAL

Good data from Silicon Valley Bank in their [State of Markets Report, H1 2026](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/2jg1xcsa23mxisuj7y9rh/state-of-the-markets-h1-2026.pdf?rlkey=5f0n2tde6nbp0eyuxlsoog52r&dl=0). Capital is still concentrating, not disappearing. The latest market data shows venture funding increasingly flowing to fewer, larger rounds (especially in AI0 while early-stage startups face longer fundraising cycles and higher expectations for traction and efficiency.

## 10. CASE STUDY

Check out how Harvey AI scaled rapidly by focusing on a narrow vertical (legal professionals) and embedding deeply into existing workflows. Some of their growth playbook centers on premium pricing from day one, and expansion through firm-wide adoption rather than broad self-serve acquisition.
