Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

PostHog raised $70 million from Stripe by breaking every SaaS rule: open-source products, generous free tiers, no outbound sales, price cuts instead of increases, and protection against viral usage spikes. While Salesforce hikes prices 6% annually, PostHog proves there's room for startups that do the exact opposite of what private equity-backed software companies typically do.
