The Next Chapter for The Vertical SaaS Knowledge Project

The Next Chapter for The Vertical SaaS Knowledge Project

VSKP Readers,

We founded Tidemark to support entrepreneurs with more than capital. We also aspire to share strategic frameworks, informed by decades of investing experience, and access to world-class talent that can help founders take the next step.

The Vertical SaaS Knowledge Project (“VSKP”) was started with this in mind. We have spent over a year writing down our ideas, frameworks, and stories of businesses that got it right, totaling over 20 essays.

Now, we are scaling our ambition. The VSKP should be more than just our ideas; it should serve as a repository for the best thinking on Vertical SaaS. Today, we take one step closer to building a hub of the best of Vertical SaaS, and (for now) we’re calling it “VSKP Next.”


It includes:

  • Frameworks: The very best of our writing.
  • Wisdom of the web: An AI chatbot named Goose (after Courtney’s golden retriever) that can answer your questions based on both our own writing and sources outside of Tidemark.?Let us know if you have suggestions for any essays to add to Goose — the more we feed him, the bigger he becomes!
  • Community and tools: We will provide opportunities to engage with world-class executives and share in their earned wisdom. Additionally, we will provide data, tools, and benchmarks to help you analyze your business.?

You can take a deeper look at what’s new here.

This is still a very early vision of how we plan to help founders build generational companies, but we’re excited to get it out there.?

Interested in helping us? Reach out at [email protected]. You can also sign up to stay in the loop on our latest releases here.

As always, thank you for being part of the Tidemark community. We couldn’t do this stuff without you!?

Best,?

Dave?
