At the beginning of 2024, we set out to publish a brand new report that would take a deep look into the state of the enterprise SaaS markets – both the public and private sectors as well as the exit environment. As B2B venture specialists at Sapphire, our goal was to uncover the latest trends shaping the industry and make big bets on how those would continue to play out throughout the rest of the year. 

In January, we unveiled our inaugural report: The State of the SaaS Capital Markets: A Look Back at 2023 and Look Forward to 2024 – as well as our accompanying blog post with our top 10 predictions for the year. 

With 1H now behind us, we’ve taken a moment to reassess our report and grade our own paper on the predictions we’ve made with our Mid-Year Update.

Key Features of the Mid-Year Update:

• Mid-Year Check-In: The report serves as a mid-year review of Sapphire Ventures' 2024 predictions for the SaaS capital markets.
• Proprietary Analysis: It offers unique insights into both private and public SaaS markets, providing a thorough examination of industry trends and dynamics.
• Performance Review: The report evaluates the accuracy of predictions made earlier in the year, offering insights on the progress and trends observed in 2024.

Download the Mid-Year Update below to gain in-depth insights into our predictions’ accuracy and understand the strategic forces at play as we advance towards 2025.

We look forward to sharing a full year recap on how we’ve tracked toward our 2024 predictions at the beginning of 2025. Stay tuned!
