#SaaS | #venturecapital : "What's Wrong with SaaS? - An insightful piece from Avenir . Key Takeaways- (1) #Software remains a significant sector with hundreds of high-quality businesses. Within it, SaaS has suffered in recent prime years primarily due to deterioriating fundamentals, NOT a change in the valuation paradigm. The dearth of software #IPOs is due to mismatched expectations, NOT a shuttered IPO market. Today's private -high growth software companies can and probably should IPO. (2) The simplest explanation for deteriorating fundamentals is that we have passed the center of the SaaS S-curve and incremental revenue will be harder to come by going forward at the sector level. So far, SaaS companies have responded to this by spending more, leading to deteriorating sales efficiency and underperformance. What management teams have referred to as "tough macro" is likely a new normal. (3) Though growth will be harder to come by, it will still be meaningful. #AI represents a promising new #product development vector, and incumbents will generally be beneficiaries. Either way, SaaS companies have a long way to go before they are run in a financially sound way - multiples for the group could well be higher in a few years based on improving profitability and financial discipline. https://lnkd.in/gaUeVGJV

Are French unicorns ready for their IPO? I'll say yes, and probably even a bit better than German startups! Let me tell you why. Most IPOs are driven by the CEO / CFO couple but there is a third important wheel to this constellation: the CMO! A big part of a successful IPO and then stock exchange valuation is communication. It's all about trust, baby! And trust is built through communication & thought leadership. French startups are often very strong in being transparent and proactive in their communications. So this is a solid basis to work on. Here are my learnings from working on KATEK GROUP's IPO: ‣ It's not all about the press: Yes, mandatory investor relations (IR) news have to be communicated through the press. By going further and also using your company's owned channels you show even more transparency to your stakeholders. Communicating on LinkedIn will enable dialog with your investors. ‣ IR does not need to be boring: Financial reports might not sound as sexy as the next big brand campaign, but it can be. Use videos to explain the numbers further, plan live Q&A sessions with the CEO. Be creative and stay true to your brand's values. ‣ It's about the people: The stock exchange market is a numbers and money world. By involving your C-level in the communication you will be able to build up a stronger trust in your company. In people we trust! Here think about news hijacking to position your C-level as the experts they are, do video interviews or quote statements.

Dear SaaS Community, Not convinced that 𝗮 𝗖𝗧𝗢 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲? How many reasons do you need? I’ll give you 𝗳𝗶𝘃𝗲: 1️⃣ Operational responsibilities conflict with strategic ones.  And, as it goes, operation will then always win, because of continuous commercial pressure. So if, as a CTO, you actively work on code, this will inevitably come at the cost of having to neglect strategic responsibilities. 2️⃣ The “flow” most seniors feel when being deep into coding, is counterproductive to strategic thinking. It absorbs a high percentage of your brain capacity, at the cost of losing track of time and interest in other stuff. Relationships have stranded because of it 😏. Good strategic decision making, out-of-the-box thinking, putting things in perspective, these are all things that don’t happen when we’re “in the flow”. 3️⃣ It’s an unhealthy situation to be a C-level leader and a peer to developers at the same time, due to conflicts of interest for instance. 4️⃣ Dotting the i’s is extremely expensive for a CTO to do, the reality being that the last 10% of your software efforts accounts for 90% of development time. 5️⃣ It’s a much more sustainable growth strategy to empower development teams using your own skills and experience, than to keep doing production yourself. ————————— This is part of an article I wrote to demystify the CTO role, a role that has suffered from the Startup World's hijacking of the role name to describe a Startup's Lead Developer. Although it's perfectly common to call this Lead Dev a CTO, this "Startup CTO" type has tainted the actual role of CTO, and, even if the "Startup CTO" is important in the early stages of a Startup, it's important to keep in mind that an actual CTO is a strategic, business-oriented C-level player, and should be the one bridging the gap between the board and development.

He co-founded Doctolib in 2013, which quickly became a leader in #ehealth across Europe, dramatically improving how patients connect with #healthcare providers. The platform serves 380,000 healthcare professionals and attracts 80 million patient visits each month. Key insights from the keynote of the CEO of Doctolib: ✔ Niox-Chateau envisions a future where healthcare professionals have access to patient #data in the right context, enhanced #medicalknowledge, and more time for #patientcare. He emphasizes the importance of simple, smart tools to enable preventive care. ✔ He believes that technology can transform how practitioners innovate in their daily work, allowing general practitioners and specialists to treat more patients and handle broader #clinicalcases efficiently. ✔ AI and technology can transform passive, traditional consultations into more dynamic, engaging experiences, benefiting both professionals and patients. Digital #healthstartups play a crucial role in this evolution. ✔ Niox-Chateau emphasizes that technology should be easy to use and have a significant impact on the daily lives of healthcare professionals. #AI can amplify these changes, opening up new possibilities. ✔ At the outset, AI will support practitioners with administrative tasks, ensuring transparency and reducing the possibility of mistakes, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency of #healthcareservices. ✔ Niox-Chateau concludes by reinforcing the potential of technology and AI to change the lives of patients and professionals, encouraging the audience to embrace these innovations for a better healthcare future. 🗣 “I believe technology, amplified by AI, can have a systemic impact on health and the lives of professionals. We dream of healthcare professionals with patient data in the right context, enhanced medical knowledge, and more time for patient care, enabled by smart and simple tools for preventive care,” says Stanislas Niox-Chateau. 👉 Watch all the replays of the Adopt AI Summit: https://lnkd.in/eDxHcR47 📅 Save the date - on November 21st, join us at the AI for Health Summit at STATION F in Paris, where Doctolib will be present to explore the future of healthcare technology! ⚕ You can already book your pass: https://lnkd.in/ej3pUNa7

Speaking at an event in Singapore last June, I shocked a few people when I advised against using platform-as-a-service products. In my experience, these products make your business overly dependent on a single cloud vendor, and they often aren’t worth the convenience and the extra costs. Sooner or later, you’ll need to understand what’s happening under the hood with your infrastructure. The illusion of “I don’t need experts in servers if I use PaaS” is just that—an illusion. It’s a risky mindset. No matter how seamless the service seems, you can’t avoid the reality that someone needs to manage and understand the infrastructure behind it. Last week, during the Rails World 2024 keynote, DHH touched on a similar issue, referring to the “server-phobia” many developers have today. He highlighted how major cloud providers profit from this fear by charging significant markups for services that keep you from really engaging with your infrastructure. To address this, DHH introduced Kamal (https://kamal-deploy.org/), an open-source tool designed to help developers deploy applications anywhere, using more cost-effective, flexible computing resources rather than expensive, ready-made solutions.
