Landon and Kyle discuss the idea of avoiding popular SaaS markets and give their thoughts on building in public (while sipping on some bourbon & eggnog). They also give their thoughts on some of the recent SaaS acquisitions. 

Today's Topics Include:

  • Their podcast drinks of choice 
  • Acquisitions of Kustomer (Facebook) & Slack (Salesforce)
  • New product: Bump
  • Building in public? Pros and cons 
    • Learnings are helpful
    • Leads to more competitors
    • More interested in klout instead of business
    • Spending more time showing you're building in public than actually building
    • Many 'open startups' move away from that as they grow
  • Giving a business more time to mature
  • 90% of companies still aren't using cloud-based software
    • These are the unsexy niches
