  • We’re excited to partner with Tidemark on the first-of-its kind Vertical & SMB SaaS Benchmark Report! Check it out for all the data and metrics that Vertical SaaS executives need. https://lnkd.in/gViMvG6j

    At Tidemark, we know the opportunity in Vertical SaaS is just starting to unfold. Some of the best businesses in the world are Vertical SaaS companies that have grown into incredible platforms–we’re fortunate enough to have worked with almost a dozen that have scaled to over $100 million in revenue–but the path to get there can be murky. We built Tidemark to be in service of great founders. Since the beginning, we’ve been committed to helping Vertical SaaS operators by providing frameworks to help scale their businesses. We then created communities of collective knowledge and earned wisdom around these frameworks. Through these initiatives, we’ve heard from Vertical SaaS operators that they lack the right data to help them make decisions. That’s why we’re so excited to share the 2024 Vertical & SMB SaaS Benchmark Report. We collected information from nearly 250 Vertical SaaS operators to provide data that no one has publicly gathered before. The report covers industry-specific metrics and benchmarks for a wide range of topics, including attach rates and revenue lifts from launching new products. Ultimately, this report is meant as a guide to help Vertical SaaS executives make data-driven decisions. You can learn more and get your copy of the report at the link below! https://lnkd.in/gViMvG6j This wouldn’t be possible without the support of our partners!

    Climate VC | Non-Profit Board Member | Stanford Alum

    I felt better after writing this, so let this post be your comforting thought of the day: It's time for climate investors to look this beast in the eye. A new Trump administration could dismantle the IRA and other climate legislation using: - Executive actions — Difficulty: easy | Permanence: low | Likelihood: high - Budgetary influence — Difficulty: easy | Permanence: low | Likelihood: high - Judicial challenges — Difficulty: medium | Permanence: medium | Likelihood: a near certainty - New legislation — Difficulty: hard | Permanence: moderate | Likelihood: low They'd also roll back regulations that have been creating market tailwinds for a lot of climate tech companies, probably as their first order of business as the Republican Party's real power is laser-focused on deregulation and tax favoritism for a few large business interests But, none of this should be used as an excuse to pull back on climate investing and continued climate innovation because arresting the wave isn't as easy as the Trump campaign makes it sound The work we do here is in response to long-term secular trends that can be accelerated by policy, but not stopped by it More specifics in the full post!

    CEO & Co-Founder of Candid Wholesale

    Got into Whole Foods? Here’s your next move: target as many Mom-and-Pop stores as you can. Why? 1. Whole Foods can be a money pit You might lose money selling to Whole Foods. They drive hard bargains, and even large companies often see no margin. But the exposure is invaluable. 2. Whole Foods = Product Awareness Whole Foods offers visibility that’s tough to beat. However, besides stocking your product, they may not help it sell. The Mom-and-Pop Edge These stores offer customer loyalty, brand advocacy, and better margins. They won’t match Whole Foods in volume, but their incentives align more closely with yours. They do require more management, though. A Better Way Candid makes it easy for Mom-and-Pop shops to order from you online, offering tailored wholesale solutions integrated with your systems. This boosts adoption, margin, and brand advocacy without the usual hassles. If you want to make the most of your small accounts, connect with me and let's chat!
