We'd love to hear from you. Please let us a know a little more about yourself.
Our headquarters are located in the center of downtown San Antonio, in a beautifully restored hotel (The Savoy) which first opened in 1912. All of our portfolio companies have offices in the building, and share benefits such as communal kitchens, lounges, and an outdoor patio to take in the Texas sun.
Our Polish office is centered around Kraków's Main Square (Rynek Główny), the largest medieval town square of any European city. Similar to our San Antonio office, all of our companies have employees located in the one building.
We scour the web every week to bring you the latest and greatest SaaS news and resources.
🔧 For a while, many venture investors avoided vertical software because they felt its comparatively small markets would not produce target VC outcomes. That has of course changed in recent years, and CRV does a nice job of outlining why. They use the example of auto repair software – with 167k auto repair shops in the US and the lower priced players charging $2.7k a year, you conservatively have a ~$440M TAM (not the $1B+ venture gets excited about). But over time these software are able to further specialize and innovate within their verticals, both creating more solutions (more things to charge for) and improving their current offerings (giving them the ability to charge more), thus growing their TAM. What CRV is most excited about in vertical software is embedded commerce. Using the same example, embedded commerce would be selling auto parts directly through auto repair software, putting your website, booking system, POS, etc. all in one place.
