Ladies, Gentlemen, Future SaaS Monsters … I’m your host for this morning Stephen Cummins. We’ll meet some amazing SaaS Monsters today. I’m going to kick off with 4 huge visions of SaaS enablement
Welcome to 14 Minutes of SaaS - the show where you can listen to the stories of the stories and opinions of founders of the world's most remarkable scaleups.
4 Huge Visions of SaaS Enablement: from OPTIMISING VOICE DATA, to CUSTOMER INFRASTRUCTURE, to DEMOCRATISING THE MOBILE APP ECOSYSTEM, to QUANTUM AS A SERVICE.
This vision is about Unlocking the Power of VoiceToday the VAST MAJORITY of VALUABLE DATA from PHONE CALLS is LOST– or we lose time keying it.
Meet JONATHAN ANGUELOV, Co-founder & COO at AIRCALL – a CLOUD BASED PHONE SYSTEM –
Its VISION is to UNLOCK the POWER of VOICE
This company has an obsession with INTEGRATING CONVERSATIONS into all of your SAAS APPLICATIONS … its not the only company with that obsessions, but listen to this …
PHONE CALLS are very VALUABLE DATA …. and it's still being lost. AIRCALL is a VERY VALUABLE COMPANY because it believes that.
BUILDING over 100 INTEGRATIONS into SAAS BUSINESS APPLICATIONS in 2019! I know of no other company doing that in 2019.
The rise of SaaS API based businesses. If you think of a company like ALGOLIA as the SEARCH BRICK into the business, then AIRCALL is the PHONE BRICK into the BUSINESS – integrating with Intercom, Salesforce, Zendesk, Gong.io, Freshdesk etc. AIRCALL, founded in PARIS in 2014 is doing DOZENS of MILLIONs in revenue after raising $41M in investment because of it’s OBSESSION with its VISION to UNLOCK THE POWER OF VOICE
This next VISION is similar in some ways to Aircall – expressed in a different way … they'll INTEGRATE your data ONCE and CONNECT you into your ENTIRE SaaS STACK
This is PETER REINHARDT, Co-Founder & CEO of SEGMENT, a CUSTOMER DATA INFRASTRUCTURE company.
He TRIED TO KILL the IDEA that was to form Segment – and FAILED so spectacularly that a UNICORN was born….if you want to know how he did that, you have to listen to the podcast
He validated an idea he was trying to kill by publishing a link to a sign up page on Hacker News – pretending they’d built it. The response was massive and Segment built its 1st hugely successful product in just 5 days.
So they're the PIPES that SUPPLY the DATA to an ever-expanding MUSHROOM CLOUD of MARKETING TECHNOLOGY TOOLS. The MAIN DATA ENABLER is a powerful place to be.
Selling into into SMBs and the ENTERPRISE with similar efficiency. Amazing! Founded in 2012 SEGMENT has raised over $280M at a $1.5B valuation.
Apps deliver 300% MORE CONVERSIONS than MOBILE WEBSITES and 140% MORE ENGAGEMENT. Any entity that can help APP PROVIDERS OPTIMISE the App EXPERIENCE for their CUSTOMERS is huge.
Meet MIKE MOLINET - in superman pose – he’s CO-FOUNDER and COO of Branch.io … he talks about STRUGGLES with his 5th company - the one just BEFORE BRANCH a CONSUMER FACING APP called KINDRED
So they used the learnings to co-Founded Branch.io in 2014. It now has $330M raised at a 1 to 10B USD valuation.
I’ll be introducing his co-founder Mada Seghete tomorrow to the SaaS Monster stage. She was the 1st person I interviewed for 14 MINUTES OF SAAS
HANDS UP HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE USING BRANCH.io
Branch.io powers MOBILE LINKS, ATTRIBUTION, and MEASUREMENT for more than 3 BILLION MONTHLY USERS and over 50K apps like Airbnb, Yelp, Lyft and Ticketmaster.
Branch.io’s stated VISION is to SUPERCHARGE your MOBILE GROWTH.
I think they’ve also a BIGGER VISION to INDEX the MOBILE APP ECOSYSTEM – a huge vision of Google-esque proportions.
They already support over 100 BILLION LINKS & over 50K APPS
Our final vision is BRINGing QUANTUM COMPUTING to the MASSES…… to bring the power of MULTIPLE QUANTUM COMPUTERS into a SINGLE PLATFORM, ACCESSIBLE to EVERYONE
Meet William Hurley – better known as whurley, CEO & Founder of Strangeworks. Former IBM Master inventor - He sold his last 2 companies to Accenture & Goldmann Sachs – he’s now thinking a little longer term than the previously. He’s building that layer – focused on enabling future SaaS makers on a Quantum computing platform.
Strangeworks – founded 2018 –He’s building a LAYER between Quantum Computers stored at temperatures below that of outer space … and CLASSICAL CODERS. Because the only people who can code Quantum Computers today are quantum PHYSICISTS – they're not very good at it.
In short his moon-shot is to become the AWS for Quantum Computing ….
QUANTUM COMPUTING will REVOLUTIONISE the world, and by extension the POWER of SaaS.
Bringing Quantum to the MASSES will happen FASTER than most people think.
You can find 14 Minute of SaaS everywhere you listen to podcasts
