Their buyers don’t have customer stories. They don’t sell to SaaS companies.

- throwaway2037 1mo ago> They don’t sell to SaaS companies. Is this true? If so, how do you know? I have listened to almost of their podcasts. I don't recall them saying there are any type of customer they refuse to sell to. They told a funny story about a sales call with a US national laboratory. They went into the call assuming they would be asking for supercomputer. Instead, they learned they need a bunch of regular rack compute, not all supercomputers. Also, the OP did not say they are a SaaS company. They only said they spend 900K USD per year with AWS.

- throwaway2037 1mo agoDo you have any evidence for this claim? Or, can you explain why it isn't viable for SaaS?
