If you want to sell a startup on TrustMRR...
You can now add a public message for buyers (why are you selling?)
I highly recommend doing this because it's one of the top 3 questions buyers ask.

Something just dropped in TrustMRR 👀
Churn is a North Star metric to look at when buying a SaaS, so I've tried to recompute Stripe's churn chart. It's not a 100% match, but it gives a good estimate of what the startup's actual churn rate is.
