Subject: Question on Stripe's AE ramp post-Series B Hi Sarah, Congrats on the Series B. I run Acmecorp -- we do call-review-based coaching for B2B SaaS sales teams. The question I had: with the headcount you're likely adding, are you keeping your current AE ramp target (~4 months at Stripe based on the team page hiring volume) or shortening it? I have specific data from teams scaling at your stage and would share it. 15 minutes next week, or skip the call entirely?
