While feature parity is a common concern in SaaS, the reality of true product commoditisation might be more complex than we think. Even in crowded markets where features can be easily replicated, there's always room for meaningful differentiation. In this clip, Ranudi Jayasinghe shares an interesting perspective using the analogy of strawberry sellers - how two seemingly identical products can still capture different market segments based on factors like convenience and values alignment. But this raises some interesting questions: 🤔 In a world where features can be replicated quickly, how sustainable is product differentiation? 🤔 Are we overlooking simple differentiators that matter more to buyers than we realize? 🤔 How many SaaS companies are actually investing in identifying and communicating their unique value propositions? What's your take on product differentiation in SaaS? Have you seen examples where seemingly minor differentiators made a major impact on buying decisions? You can find the full episode on YouTube and on popular podcast channels. #unsoldpodcast #saas #marketing #differentiation #b2bsaas #positioning

Crew Capital's #TipOfTheWeek 💡on the power of long-term goals in building a startup with Durga P Pandey, Co-founder and CEO of Subskribe "Founders need to focus on the bigger picture to thrive in the tumultuous startup landscape. There’s the day-to-day motivation, and then there’s the long-term. Financial outcomes by themselves are not motivating enough over a long period of time. You have to really like the problem space and you have to enjoy building a startup." 📍Read more at: https://lnkd.in/dcwVgXm4 #advice #founder #success #startup #growth #mindset #motiavion #entrepreneur #strategy #venturecapital #entrepreneurship #startuplife #ceo #tech #scaling

Startup founders need a reality check. Some are always moonlighting, some are never serious and seeking job and pitching their startup at the same time. Not 100% focused. One of the reason 90% startups fail. #startup #startups

Apple aims to produce iPads and AirPods in India after $14 billion iPhone success! Context: As Apple is looking to scale its manufacturing base in the country, they are revisiting its plans and actively finding a local partner within India. They look forward to starting AirPods production as early as 2025. After a search for collaborations with Indian manufacturers, Apple partnered with Jabil. Jabil has already begun trial production of AirPods wireless charging case components in Pune. If successful, this collaboration could be expanded, with similar partnerships explored with Foxconn. ✅ Thanks to Apple’s expansion, India will receive: - More technological advancement. - Increased investment in infrastructure. - Boost in the manufacturing sector. - Creation of more jobs. Further: this could also mean more affordable iPads and faster deliveries in India. On the other hand, Apple benefits from a diversified supply chain (by moving away from China) and a chance to tap into the growing Indian market. … Before you go, if you’re an immigrant in America, join 16,500+ who get my weekly newsletter packed with breaking news & free resources like this: https://lnkd.in/gKtUGU-r :) #unshackled #iPhone #india #manufacturing #jobs #technology
