About this listen

On this week's The Razor's Edge, we talk about software as a service and how the market seems to repeat the same patterns over and over. Those patterns include:

  • Ignoring valuation until it's too late to ignore valuation
  • Searching for silver bullet explanations and one-size-fits-all theories
