🔍 Have you ever heard that startups usually overpay for their tech stack? No? Well, a recent study by OpenView Partners revealed that early-stage SaaS companies spend an average of 35% more than necessary on their technology infrastructure.
As your startup scales, every tech decision compounds. Making the wrong choices from the beginning can lead to inflated costs, unnecessary expenses, and technical debt that eats your runway. After the first 5 years, the vast majority of startups fail primarily due to insufficient cash flow and poor financial management, and the oversized tech costs are the main contributor.
The first step is ensuring you're on the right path: focus on your core value proposition while partnering with experts to optimize your tech investments.
Case in point: One of our clients, Amatis, saved $150K annually by consolidating their tech stack - and eliminating redundant tools — all while accelerating their development infrastructure velocity by 50%.
