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

Sobering thought... only .4% of SaaS companies achieve $10M in ARR. That means 99.6% of SaaS companies fail to generate a positive exit for investors/employees. Scaling your sales and being stuck below $10M in ARR is often referred to as "The Valley of Death". Proud to say that True Sales Results (TSR) has worked with many SaaS startups that have gone on to achieve $10M in ARR and even $100M in ARR. Not surprisingly, they have all led to a positive exits for investors/employees. #saassales #saas #salesenablement #salesperformanceoptimization #truesalesresults #ipo #M&A
