Understanding the financial aspects of a SaaS business model
Well, I can’t manage to promote the Habrav community to discuss the SaaS issues. How many do not try :). Even the SaaS –conception, which I spoke about in the presentation of our project , was not noticed by very few people.
On the other hand, interesting things are observed. In almost every second discussion of the collective blog “Startups”, one way or another, there is a thought about some specificity of business in the spaces of the former Union. But if this notorious specificity still exists in reality, then there’s no way to understand why then local business reacts so coldly to on-demand (SaaS) programs. Personally, it seems to me that it is even hard to think of a better application of this very specificity.
Recently, Todd Gardner, the CEO of SaaS Capital, Inc., a venture company, sent me a link to an interesting report , and I want to offer it to your attention. It is called “Understanding the Financial Implications of the Software-as-a-Service Business Model (Understanding the financial aspects of a SaaS business model).”

The report was compiled by independent analysts on the instructions of SaaS Capital, Inc. Todd Gardner created this venture company in 2006. In 2007, he invited William Rurode, the former head of one of the branches of Bank of America, one of the largest US banks. You can tell a lot about each of them, but this is not about now.
As it is easy to understand from the name of the company, the main direction of its investment policy is SaaS startups. Recently, the company received a credit line of $ 10 million (communications and in America is also a great thing :)).
SaaS –business is now viewed in the States as extremely profitable, with very low risks. Already in 2008, William Rurode plans to return all loans. A typical SaaS Capital, Inc. client is expected to earn at least 3 million per year.
I think this is enough to interest everyone who works in the field of business organization in new areas of IT. If necessary, I am ready to participate in the translation of the material offered to your attention.
- The discussion on this note has unexpectedly been reduced to the question of the uniqueness of the Russian Internet business, which is not “wise to understand”. The same topic, in part, found its continuation in another my note and in the discussion around it.
