The rise of the SMB SaaS solution

Now the math gets interesting:

To build a $100m business on a $5 a month freemium tool, you need 2,000,000 paying customers.  Congrats to DropBox and SurveyMonkey.  But who else is pulling this off?  Not too many.

To build a $100m business selling to SMBs at $300 a month, you need ~25,000 paying SMB customers.  A lot.  But achievable.  If you dominate a large vertical, especially.

In fact, it’s easy to see, 5-7 years down the road — 15-20 $100m+ ARR winners here.  All selling verticalized solutions to SMBs.  It’s, finally, time.
