HOW DO THE VCs LOOK AT THE STATE OF THE OPEN CLOUD MARKET?
- VCs are still very bullish on cloud-native and open-source cloud companies
- \\u201cGood growth\\u201d will be encouraged and rewarded
- Software \\u201cmultiples\\u201d are back to 2018-19 levels. The 2020s were crazy value\\xa0 inflation.\\xa0
HOW CAN THAT INFLUENCE WHAT 2023 MIGHT LOOK LIKE?
- Lots of companies are re-evaluating their spending levels and cost levels
- Lots of highly \\u201cvalued\\u201d private companies may become acquisition targets in 2023
- Most of the job-cuts, thus far, haven\\u2019t been that large, as a percentage.\\xa0
- For software businesses, cloud-services are growing 3-5x their software business. Expect to see more companies moving to those offerings.\\xa0
- Cloud providers continue to show strong growth, even at a larger scale. Expect this to continue, although they are all shifting their focuses.\\xa0
- Software can be a driving force to enable productivity, so expect to see companies continue to focus on software-driven projects.\\xa0
- Lots of good insights into how the selling and buying model are evolving. Interesting if you\\u2019re evaluating companies beyond just what they offer.\\xa0
