Is B2B SaaS OverCrowded?+ What's Happening in European Startup Ecosystem & Building a Profitable Healthcare Startup in India
Is B2B SaaS OverCrowded?
Here's what Neon's Managing Partner Siddhartha Ahluwalia Thinks About it
"Everyone is talking about how B2B SaaS is overcrowded and for every problem there are 100 solutions out there.
What folks don’t realise is that riches lie in niches.
When all large categories are built, there are many categories of one.
For example, there are 100s of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools out there, but building for verticals might be the best strategy you can adopt right now.
I don’t remember the largest CRM tool for the construction industry or even in construction the CRM for modular construction. Super Verticals SaaS would be the right market for founders to attack right now, and going into verticals which are the most boring ones like Manufacturing, textile, construction, oil and gas, and many others.
You need domain expertise to build for these verticals so your first step is to get a co-founder who has spent 10/20 years in technology in these verticals.
Similarly, other areas to explore are in Cloud Services. Amazon Web Services has more than 200 services/products. If you pick one of those services and build a better tool than AWS, you would get a mindshare of so many developers."
