Early-stage SaaS boasts best expected exit success rate for VCs Great article by Rosie Bradbury 👇 'SaaS is the bread and butter of venture, offering capital-lite business models with high profit margins. VC’s preoccupation with SaaS isn’t a coincidence. Historically, it has been one of the most lucrative areas for investors. And new research from PitchBook, developed using the machine learning-enabled VC Exit Predictor, shows that the expected future returns for SaaS far outpace other venture tech verticals. PitchBook’s VC Emerging Opportunities report calculated that the annualized expected returns for early-stage SaaS companies was 5.5% higher than the average of 10 VC tech verticals. That advantage has grown in recent years, up from 3.2% in 2017.' What factors contribute to SaaS consistently having higher expected returns compared to other tech verticals in the VC landscape? #tech #saas #vc #venture

>>> How can SaaS companies future-proof their fundraising <<< I had the pleasure to speak with Adina Davis from BoxGroup, Nancy Chou from Asymmetric, Camila Key Saruhashi from Construct Capital and Philip Edmondson-Jones from Oxx during our panel on fundraising last Tuesday. A ton of great insights from the panelists after having been many years in the SaaS industry as investors, operators and advisors! We’ll be sharing some insights in the coming days, starting with: 🔷 Current Industry Trends 🔷 🔹In the US, SaaS companies are finally coming out of a two-year dip in funding and growth. Startups in the top quartile are still getting high valuations, but for growing companies, especially companies looking to secure series B funding, the bar is higher. Both equity and debt funding avenues look for stand-out efficiency, excellent product-market fit, and scalability. 🔹In Europe, upcoming funding rounds indicate a slightly more positive fundraising environment for growing SaaS companies. 🌏 Globally, many company metrics have taken a hit due to the macroeconomic environment, which can make it more difficult to meet the VC standards required to secure funding. 🔹That said, some of today’s most exciting and innovative startups received game-changing funding over the last couple years, and with more funding options entering the mainstream, companies have an opportunity to complement their capital stack through alternative means. #growthcapital #saasgrowth #venturecapital
