Trends to Watch

- Customer service (40% adoption)
- IT management (45%)
- Operations (76%)
Usage-based pricing — Hybrid models (seat + usage) becoming standard. Revenue automation tools needed.
Edge computing for field services — Real-time processing for trades/mobile workers. Market → $445B by 2030.
Funding Signals
- Multifactor raised $15M seed (Dec 4, 2025) — security/identity space
- YC F25 batch active, but specific December announcements sparse
- Bootstrapped SaaS benchmarks for seed: $50-100K ARR, 10%+ MoM growth
