By in Fund Raising & Valuation

This analysis from SaaS Capital describes the 2021 Private SaaS Company Valuations, and their recent evolution. I found it really interesting and wanted to share with you.

Saas Capital : 2021 Private SaaS Company Valuations

It’s pretty clear that SaaS companies have valuation levels that are typically above other type of businesses.

The median SaaS valuation multiple for public B2B SaaS companies stood at 16.6x run rate ARR on December 31, 2020. And in Q1 2021, and is now at 17.6x, at the highest point ever. The lowest valuation multiple out of all public SaaS companies is 3.4x ARR. So, even the “losers” in this market are doing fine!…

The estimated valuation multiple for private SaaS B2B companies is currently at 12.0x ARR. All private valuation multiples we have seen in the second half of 2020 remained in the historic range of 3x to 10x ARR, depending on company metrics.

Although SaaS clearly continues to be a very bright spot in the broader economy, SaaS companies have specificities in their business model that deserve specific tactics and approaches when it comes to Pricing, to Lead Generation, and to Sales. As you know, at We::NXT, we have a deep understanding of SaaS and Cloud markets. And we will be happy to help you accelerate growth through our Sales Acceleration Services in a way that is always customized for your company!

Why Subscription Offerings

By in Business Modeling

I found this great article from McKinsey. It analyses the preference for Subscription Offerings over Perpetual Offerings. I like the myth busting piece.

But we believe they have specificities in their business model that deserve specific tactics and approaches when it comes to Business Modeling and Pricing.

Lead Generation, a never ending problem finally getting a solution!

By in Art & Science of Selling

Across my entire career as Sales VP, it has always been a struggle to figure out how to efficiently generate quality leads. Is this a inbound marketing activity and responsibility? Or is this a sales responsibility, where we should have our experienced sales execs allocating some of their precious time to do account profiling and cold calling?  Or both? or should we specialize a team doing lead gen? I was struggling with those questions and looking for answers, when I came recently across the great book by Aaron Ross called “Predictable Revenue : Turn Your Business Into a Sales Machine with the $100 Million Best Practices of Salesforce.com” (it can be found on Amazon – see here).

I read the book within 2 days, it was so specific and well thought-out, I must say I found most of the answers I was looking for, with some really innovative approaches! I really strongly recommend you read this book… and implement the concepts! (and at we::nXt we will be happy to help you there!)
