If the Sabres were a startup

If your Buffalo Sabres were a startup.

‍

This is what they'd be.

The Buffalo Sabres are taking the city by storm.

‍

They're not just on track to make the playoffs for the first time since this author's children were born (hint: they're getting pretty old).

‍

They're straight-up bushwhacking their way into the first-round with a shot at winning the entire division.

‍

All this winning got Series B thinking: what if the Sabres were a startup?

‍

Following is our answer. What's yours?

‍

If the Sabres were a startup...

‍

There's a lot of talk about the SaaS-pocalypse right now. But let's see Gen AI try to stand in front of a one-timer from a 6-foot-7 beast whose wind-up touches the ceiling. ChatGPT just flinched...

Buffalo's had software unicorns. It has the HQ for global defense contractors. Now it has the league's best defenseman (arguably, don't fight us right now). The hits keep on coming.

‍

‍

Do you remember when the Sabres had questions in goal? Of course you don't. Nobody does. We've believed in UPL from the beginning.

‍

Quick, what were you doing while you were 20 years old?

‍

While you were thinking, Zach Benson stripped your puck and scored.

‍

Now you want to face-wash him but you can't. The play is over. Move on!

Yes, the markets have been tough for years now. Investors don't just want growth -- they want results where it counts. Like being a top two-way player in the league. And a great penalty kliler. And a 30-goal scorer. And an amazing locker room presence. And did Alex Tuch and his wife just donate $50K to a local hospital?

Here is my checkbook, sir. Just...write whatever.
