📝 The End of an Era

The $317B B2B SaaS market is reaching its limits, giving rise to the Swarm Tech era.

In our latest article we explore why the familiar model of enterprise-software subscriptions is collapsing, and what’s taking its place.

Here’s a taste of what you’ll uncover:

• Why the “B2B + SaaS” formula is becoming obsolete
• How the concept of “business-to-business” itself is losing relevance
• What we’re calling the Swarm Tech era
• How entrepreneurs and investors can position themselves now

If you’re working at the intersection of tech, collaboration, decentralised organisations, or investing in the next generation of tooling - you won’t want to miss this.
