I am a two‑time entrepreneur, former Adobe VP, co‑founder of EchoSign, and now the founder of SaaStr Fund and SaaStr AI. I share thought‑leadership across TechCrunch, Inc., Forbes, WSJ, and The Next Web, and I hold several U.S. patents on automatic document exchange.
I launched the SaaStr Fund with $70 million in capital in 2016.
Box was projected to reach $1 billion in revenue around 2019.
To achieve a 4× return on a $250 m fund, the strategy requires many nine‑figure exits or multiple unicorns.
Acquisition deals typically pay 60‑70% of the purchase price upfront, with the remainder staged over years.
I hold utility patent US 8,620,953 for automatic document exchange with archiving capability.
