Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

Forecasting in the B2B software industry is becoming increasingly challenging due to factors such as sales volatility, pricing pressure, and the shift towards usage-based pricing models. Companies are facing issues with customer collectability, particularly with smaller and riskier customers, leading to increased write-offs and a need for more proactive credit checks. Effective forecasting in this volatile market requires a deep understanding of the business, engagement from founders, and the use of AI to enhance efficiency and model capabilities.
