Hot in Enterprise IT/VC - What's 🔥 in Enterprise IT/VC #260
What's 🔥 in Enterprise IT/VC #260🙏🏼 5 years of What's 🔥!!! IT Spending 💰 forecasted to grow 📈 at fastest rate in over 10 years!
As I’m writing this from 30k feet enroute to Miami for some meetings with enterprise founders, yes, enterprise founders, I wanted to take this time to 🙏🏼 all of you for reading, listening, and sharing your thoughts with me on the What’s 🔥 journey. Today marks a huge milestone as issue #260 represents 5 years of weekly rants and emails! On the one hand 5 years seems like quite a long time, and on the other hand, it feels like it has just flown by. As I reflect on the last 5 years, what stands out the most to me is that we’ve moved from a world where developer tooling and infrastructure software was a backwater, unsexy area to invest to one that is driving massive value where terms like DevOps are regularly tossed around on CNBC. Just 5-6 years ago, New Relic was one of the gold standards of DevOps public companies with a market cap north of $2B and now it’s only worth $5B as companies like Datadog at $40B+ and Gitlab at $15B plus have accelerated past New Relic as the new leaders. Given how much has changed since I hit send on the first What’s 🔥, I’m super excited about the what the next 5 years will look like! While valuations are 📈 for all enterprise software companies, the good news is that the fundamentals underlying this are also 📈 as IT spending...cybersecurity, BI/Data, and cloud spend is forecasted to continue to rise in 2022 and beyond. .@Gartner_IT’s annual survey of over 2,000 CIOs reveals that enterprises must embrace business #composability to thrive through disruption in 2022 & beyond. Learn more here, live from #GartnerSYM. gtnr.it/3n2ToBz @Gartner_SYM In fact, according to a Gartner report released this past week, IT budgets in 2022 are expected to rise at a faster rate than they have in more than 10 years! (WSJ) Here are the actual Gartner numbers on spend. As you can see, it’s all about enterprise software and in particular spending on infrastructure. (ZDNet)
Here’s a look at the public markets as you can see 💰 shift into enterprise software the last 5 years and away from consumer FAAMG. Hedge Funds broadly negative on FAAMG while net exposure is at 4 year highs for software.
Data from MF at GS, who writes one of my favorite emails every weekend. Let’s hope this spending binge continues so it can continue to support these valuations and sky high growth rates. As always, 🙏🏼 for reading and please share with your friends and colleagues! Scaling Startups
