G2 on Track to Break $100m ARR 2022, $60m+ Today at $1.1b Valuation

And so once you want to know you want to buy something, why not make it really easy for the buyer?

And obviously, the vendor, that's great because if they can get a frictionless deal, they get a new customer.

Wonderful.

Well, Ryan and Vendor were actually partnering with, and we had done an acquisition a couple of years ago.

You might remember it called Siftree.

And that now gives us a product called G2 Track, because Siftry had been building a track product which tracks all your SaaS apps, all your SaaS spend.

And we saw that very synergistic to the G2 marketplace because it gives us all this extra insight, what are software buyers really using, what's trending for software buyers.

It also has something we call pulse surveys, which give us real sentiment, much like reviews on how the users actually like the apps they're running.

And it's 100% trusted content because we know those companies are actually running the product.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
G2 on Track to Break $100m ARR 2022, $60m+ Today at $1.1b Valuation

So we're still very excited about that.

And that's actually where we've been talking to Ryan and Bender about partnering because they're great at negotiating deals with vendors, which is frankly something we don't want to do.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

But we do give a company their whole SaaS stack.

We can give them benchmarks.

And then we are starting to partner with Bender where Bender can then, once you understand your SaaS stack, once you understand all the benchmarks in G2,

I think vendor then helps you make sure you're getting a fair deal from all the vendors.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So we see that as very complimentary.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And I think right now that we've chewed off so much, to be honest, we acquired Siftry, we acquired Advocately, that I'm not looking to do any new acquisitions right now because we have enough of our own work to do.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
G2 on Track to Break $100m ARR 2022, $60m+ Today at $1.1b Valuation

Um, and I think, you know, now we have, we have almost that many just on the vendor side and we have over 2,500 software vendors that use you.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
G2 on Track to Break $100m ARR 2022, $60m+ Today at $1.1b Valuation

And I think on the track side, you know, we're well over a thousand.

G2 on Track to Break $100m ARR 2022, $60m+ Today at $1.1b Valuation

So I think in total, you know, it's well over 3,500.
