We're seeing a special new crop of Vertical SaaS Vendors (VSVs) garner take rates in excess of 10x 📈what traditional VSVs can earn. How are they doing this (and how can you also 10x your take rate)? The answer: by executing on a new control point strategy we're calling "Formation and Access." Formation refers to helping entrepreneurs start a business in a new field or spin out of large existing organizations to create their own standalone ventures. Access is about solving key constraints in the new business by providing access to the key resources and relationships. If you're a founder, you can read more here on why we're excited about this idea, how you can set yourself up for success when pursuing it, and what to be cautious of.

📣 We’re excited to share the most disruptive pattern we’ve seen in Vertical SaaS since the introduction of embedded payments: a new control point pattern we call “Formation and Access.” Formation refers to helping entrepreneurs start a business in a new field or spin out of large existing organizations to create their own standalone ventures. Access is about solving key constraints in the new business by providing access to key resources and relationships. This includes giving these new startups an advantageous position from which to reach customers, suppliers, and licensors. We see that Formation and Access Vertical SaaS Vendors (VSVs) are earning 10x the take rates of traditional VSVs and quickly taking market share. They level the playing field for Davids to slay Goliaths. At the same time, they need to be thoughtful about how to sustain value propositions (and thus take rates) over time. Read more about why we’re excited about this idea and the potential pitfalls that founders pursuing it should be wary of: https://lnkd.in/gmBqMjUY

As Axl Rose might say, "Welcome to the PLG Jungle." In the jungle, many startups have solid products but little experience in acquiring customers. In general, PLG models almost always look attractive on paper. While there is nothing wrong with trying the strategy out, most companies eventually turn to traditional sales and marketing tactics to acquire customers for a reason.   Yes, PLG models tend to work better for developer-focused products and solutions, but even then, most companies eventually turn to traditional revenue-generating tactics. Why does this happen so often in the startup community? The answer is a combination of investor pressure, company leadership, and nominal custom acquisition experience. Remember that a PLG model is just a fancy way of saying “Word of Mouth.” Ask yourself how much time and financial resources your company has for word of mouth to take hold. Ultimately, if you find yourself at a startup and your company is going to market, I recommend running both a PLG model and traditional sales and marketing tactics to get your product to market. The age-old saying that time is money certainly applies here. https://lnkd.in/gdDufGmM
