Subject: Re: Board Request: Upstart Holdings Inc (UPST)
I extremely appreciate your kind words. Thank you BenSolar!

Your new board - Upstart Holdings!

Another great place to discuss, if not Upstart, then a lot of true SaaS firms - Software as a Service Gems!

This second board is a comfortable fire-side chat for SaaS firms with broader discussion scope, so it can be a useful intellectual contrast.

If you have emails of SaaS investors, you could invite them also to increase momentum.

I really do believe in the enormous economic strength that SaaS firms have - provided, as I wrote in the introduction at Software as a Service Gems, they have something inherent about them that allows them to retain customers. Customer retention always seems easier than it is, until 12, or 20 years pass, and the product can be completely surprised by something else. The value of firms, even more so the rapidly growing ones, are largely based on the earnings 20+ years away, rather than the earnings only 3, 5 or 8 years away.. so long-term durability is so vital and easily overlooked, as I write much about in the Manlobbi's Descent book.
