Here's the latest edition of my #SaaS Musings, trying to make sense of what's been happening in the #European #software #markets during Spring 2024. There's lots going on - frothy public markets, #AI booming, return of meme stocks, some more #macro consensus, geopolitical uncertainty, and signs of an acceleration in #scale-up stage #VC #funding activity. Lots of great European SaaS businesses raising in Q1, congrats from me & the Oxx team to: Easol, Eye Security, Griffin, Ingrid, Kittl, Pennylane, Qdrant, Rasa, Robin AI, Tuum, Vortexa & Xensam.

As part of our #XscaleInsights series, Lalit Mehta from Decimal Technologies delivered a thought-provoking insight during Coffee with Xscale 2.0: "The future of SaaS faces two major challenges: emerging competitors like AI tools, co-pilots, and no-code platforms, as well as the rapid pace of business changes." Lalit emphasized how these new categories are disrupting the SaaS landscape by offering faster, more cost-effective solutions. Additionally, the speed at which businesses are evolving makes it difficult for SaaS companies to keep up. Once customers reach a certain size, they often outgrow traditional SaaS products and look for custom platforms to meet their needs. The takeaway? SaaS companies must adapt by innovating faster and offering scalable solutions that evolve with their customers. Catch more groundbreaking insights from this conversation!

How is AI changing the future of SaaS?
