So there were barely any SaaS IPOs in 2022 or 2023. The last big SaaS IPO of the Boom Era was Hashicorp in December 2021, and after that, multiples fell off a cliff. There were basically no significant SaaS IPOs for almost 2 years, until Klaviyo (+ Instacast + ARM) all tried to reopen the market in September 2023. After that, crickets again and no IPOs for the rest of the year.

Without making those choices upfront, you’ll find it hard to create a good customer experience and scale it, and you’ll easily fall into the chaotic trap of “doing what it takes”. To make the right choices, however, you need a deep understanding of what your customers need and expect from you.

Customers expect rapid value from your product (time-to-value), data security, and access to advanced capabilities. Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) tools can provide valuable data analysis capabilities, but they have a barrier to entry that can stop small and midsize businesses from capitalizing on them.
