Serious Churn
Startupella— DJ Led Growth
Track 6 — 4:11
VERSE 1 — flute instrumental intro
Their cack was high and
Their you ex blew
They really had serious churn
They knew it was all too good to be true
When their investors came to terms
investors came to terms
VERSE 2
Their sales reps knew to hide the truth
Behind a good slide deck
The smart reps jumping ship like rats
Taking private customer lists
…private customer lists
VERSE 3
Their customers were last to know about
Everything crashing down
When the app one day just went 404
And it never would be found
…it never would be found
VERSE 4
Their CAC was through the roof
Their product was no use
The churn rate told the brutal truth
As revenue ran loose
The investors checked the proof
And tightened up the, noose
…tightened up the noose
VERSE 5
The sales team doctored every deck
With promises they'd break
While downloading client data specs
For jobs they planned to take
The whole thing was a, wreck
…whole thing was a wreck
VERSE 6
The customers logged in one day
To find their data gone
No warning, just a blank display
No backups to draw on
Not one single soul could say
… one single soul nay nay
VERSE 7
The founder posted "Lessons Learned"
On TechCrunch's front page
"Our platform simply market-turned
We're still ahead our age"
While lawsuits slowly, burned
…lawsuits slowly burned
VERSE 8
The Slack went dark at 3 AM
No severance in sight
Just GitHub repos, all of them
Deleted in the night
While VCs would, condemn
… VCs would condemn
OUTRO
in the night
While VCs would, condemn
… VCs would condemn
