Go try and replicate one. Get the team and the capital, build all the features, get all the certificates, get an enterprise sales team, and do all of this to… build a clone of an existing product? And what’s to stop them from cutting their prices until you bleed to death? Best way to do this is a pure commodity play. Like something totally replaceable where the cheapest possible option that works is good. I’ve seen many Indian and Eastern European teams try this. Just google “[Some SaaS] vs” and see the products pop up. It’s possible but it isn’t as easy as it sounds. Furthermore there are a lot of edge cases and special features you don’t see. Special flags they turn on for customers with some special need, or in some industry. Closing enormous b2b enterprise deals often includes a good amount of custom logic and integration that no one else understands.
