Rent your first office with caution. . Several years ago, I became involved with a Southeast Asian company looking to expand into the United States.

Every person—and every entrepreneur—has experienced defeat, and plenty of us are familiar with the adages about failure being a pathway to success. Such sayings are often crafted with the benefit of hindsight. Thomas Edison, for example, had long since developed the light bulb when he could assert, “I have not failed.

One of the major trends facing SaaS companies today is the rising cost of customer acquisition. Data on this trend has been difficult to find.
