Ask HN: Any Examples of SaaS Companies Adding Products?
I always love the feedback in HN and thought of a good topic for discussion.
I am part of a startup that has been doing very well since 2007 and we are close to touching $2m in annual revenue. We are in a great position to explode next year and we are preparing now.
We will continue expanding our current product but are now starting to think about adding products for 2013/14 to maintain our growth.
Does anyone have any examples (successes and failures) of SaaS companies adding products? We see several opportunities but I would love to learn from others to compare our focus!
Thanks!
Steve
- glimcat 15y agoSalesforce? 37signals? Expanding sideways is pretty common among successful software and business services companies.
- SteveC114 15y agoSalesforce - I like the idea of Force.com being offered that uses the same infrastructure as the core product, as well as the companies they have acquired. 37signals - great example and I liked reading their timeline to see how/when they expanded. Jason is also very open on Inc.com about running the company. For some reason I recall reading an article where their adoption rates were a lot lower outside of their core product.

- SteveC114 15y agoHi fezzl, Not too familiar with the UserVoice story. What product did they start with? Thanks for the input.
