Serious Churn

Startupella— DJ Led Growth

Track 64:11


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
