What to fix (3)
Runway covers 18+ months
CriticalVenture capital best practices and standard SaaS benchmarks indicate that 18 months of runway is the minimum required to survive product-market fit iterations and sales cycles without immediate dilution or shutdown.
Fix: Reduce monthly burn by cutting non-essential tools or hiring, or raise a bridge round to extend runway to at least 18 months.
Basic security compliance is in place
CriticalLack of SSO, 2FA, and encryption is a deal-breaker for enterprise sales and increases risk of data breaches, which can be catastrophic for a new SaaS brand.
Fix: Integrate a SSO provider (e.g., Okta, Auth0) and enforce 2FA for all admin accounts before launch.
Support SLA is documented
MinorWithout a defined support SLA, response times are inconsistent, leading to poor customer experience and higher churn, especially in early stages when support is often ad-hoc.
Fix: Define a standard response time (e.g., <4 hours for critical issues) and communicate it clearly on your website and in onboarding emails.
