Sarah Zou, PhD

I'm Sarah Zou, your Fractional Economist. With a PhD in Economics and deep expertise in SaaS financial modeling, subscription economics, and investor communications, I bridge the gap between raw data and powerful fundraising narratives.

Unlike traditional fractional CFO services or DIY software, my approach blends rigorous econometrics, precise SaaS benchmarks, and investor-grade storytelling.

Previously Chief Subscription Economist at Capgemini and credit researcher at Citigroup, I've spent years advising tech startups and leading companies, and building robust analytics frameworks—including my proprietary AI-SaaS Index.

I hold a PhD in Economics from Rutgers University, and MScs in Finance and Statistics from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
