Half the bullet points on here all fall into enterprise SaaS...
In my opinion the shift from big game changing ideas like Airbnb, Lyft/ Uber, and Stripe to a dozens enterprise SaaS apps popping up in San Francisco has been one of the biggest reasons why I've felt for the last year that there doesn't feel like there's been a "big next thing" for awhile.
I just can't get excited by another dressed up note taking app, and wouldn't be excited to work for one.
- redisman 7y agoAt least SaaS as a business model is a lot more palatable to me than the OG unicorns' ads and data harvesting. Generally I don't see why customer-facing technology is supposedly objectively better and sexier and more "real" engineering.
- tempsy 7y agoIt’s more exciting to work at a company that is actually game changing. Some SaaS cos fit into that bucket as well, but majority I see funded today fill some niche project management use case that just isn’t that appealing to me. I didn’t say anything about it being “realer”.
