Topic 4 - Let’s talk about the $1 to $18 model in SaaS. How does that happen, and what separates the good companies ($18) from the good/mediocre companies ($7).
Topic 5 - You talk about “First Act” and indirect models, focused on all their companies that deliver pieces of a monetization model. How long do we expect that approach to last, because we see a wave of consolidation?
