$PATH & $SNOW = Unrelated but truly Special Businesses.
Below is one example⬇️. Look at the Record $ Retention by both companies. They almost don't new customers to grow!
I'm reviewing two of the *most overvalued* companies in SaaS. Both have major updates this week. Thread 1/6
2/ What's special?
Beyond record level of $ retention on existing customer base, both companies are producing some of the most unbelievable compounded revenue growth rates ever seen in SaaS.
Clearly, this is why both companies have the highest valuations.
$SNOW Investor Day this Thursday.
My Expectations:

$SNOW provides a news update on their Data Collaboration platform before Thurs.
+ Available listings on the Data Marketplace are up by 76% over past 6-months
+ Key partners like $ZI & Foursquare
+ “Try before you buy” new product capabilities will be key

This is a thread that breaks down everything about $PATH's business.
What truly makes them unique? - I'll cover both the Bull and Bear Case and everything you need to know here:
1/ Introduction - Problem:

Cloudflare $NET recently participated in JP Morgan's Tech conference.
The CEO @eastdakota used this opportunity to really highlight the TRUE identity of Cloudflare and discussed some of their profound competitive advantage.
Here are 8-important takeaways for Investors:
1/ $NET is purposely not a Usage-Based Business Model:
Only about 5% of $NET is usage-based bcos of the potential impact or harm to a customer if some emergency came up.
Over 90% of revenue is subscriptions which gives great revenue visibility & sustains revenue
I like this.
2/ $NET's business model & strategic focus (compared to $FSLY or $AKAM):
$NET has pivoting from becoming a "CDN provider that cares about speed of streaming event"
Into
More of a security company and network ecosystem that protects their customers entire network. This is key.
