That’s definitely one advantage they have in the market, but it’s also related to your sales strategy. You’re looking for companies that have both the need for large-scale streaming customer and analytics data routing and transformation, no existing investment in Segment, and the ability to manage the on-prem IT and development load. While you can probably go after smaller and more agile fish with, e.g., recipes for common needs, this reads a lot like big enterprise transformation sales and support, so you might want to look at connecting with established players who are already selling in those markets — consulting orgs, analytic tools vendors, or software companies selling things like API-first e-comm, where you’re upending legacy stacks.
- soumyadeb 7y agoHmm, honestly we don't have any connections into those. Would love to connect with you if you can help us. Interestingly, some of our initial pilots chose us not so much for privacy but for pricing. Segment's pricing doesn't work if you have a lot of free users (free games, online bloggers etc. There was a hackernews thread on this - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19220518 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19220518 We want to compete on the privacy angle but looks like the pricing might get us the initial downloads.
- srameshc 7y agoThanks for Rudder. Segment pricing was a deterrent for us because we have free tier. I searched a few days back but I am so glad I found something so awesome again on Hacker News :)
