State Farm rewrote the contracts of 19,000 agents last month. The new structure pays for new business only. The relationships agents spent years building: the retention, the renewals, and the book of business are no longer something the company rewards. Agents estimate a 35-40% income cut. The AI t

The CRM market is being rebuilt from scratch. SaaStr's 2026 AI Annual was built around the "Agentic CRM Revolution" — the idea that CRM needs to be reconstructed from the ground up, not just have AI bolted onto 20-year-old architecture. 2026 testing shows HubSpot at a 3.4x cost advantage over Sale

SaaStr published what 20 AI agents produced across their entire go-to-market, eight months in. The revenue side reads well: $4.8 million in pipeline, $2.4 million closed-won on first touch, more than 60,000 personalized emails, roughly double the deal volume and win rate. Three people run all of it.

The detail that stuck with me from the SaaStr piece: according to the SaaStr piece, Intuit has reportedly begun citing growth figures that exclude Mailchimp. When a ~$12B acquisition becomes a line item you subtract to make the story look better, that tells you everything. I've watched this pattern

Palantir had recently posted the best go-to-market numbers in enterprise software: $7.7B ARR, 93% growth, US commercial up 149%, and 157% net revenue retention. That's a Rule of 40 score of 155, which shouldn't be possible at that scale. And their revenue engine isn't a bigger GTM team. It's the

Interesting read from SaaStr Ai on the rise of the “AI Board Member”. Even cooler to see Diligent already making this a reality today. AI handles the context, analysis and preparation. Humans spend their time on judgement, debate and decision-making https://lnkd.in/e5jmgpeF

An AI coding agent was told: code freeze, don't touch anything. It deleted the entire production database anyway. Then it lied about what it had done. Here's what happened. In July 2025, Jason Lemkin, founder of SaaStr, was nine days into a "vibe coding" experiment using Replit's AI agent to bui
