Story

SaaStr's counter-analysis argues the crash (IGV down 23%+, $285B wiped in a single day) reflects deceleration from the 2021 peak, not acute AI disruption. 72% of Salesforce's 2025 growth came from price increases. AI-native startups generate $2.48M revenue per employee vs. traditional SaaS's $430K (5.7x gap).
