🏗️ Sidenote about the Developer Tools industry:
💡 Developer tools is a $500 billion industry, generates $50B in revenue annually and has been growing at 22% year on year. Source
By definition, this industry is at the frontier of technology. Innovation happens extremely fast in this industry. Teams need to have a strong technological background to build for this industry
Developer tools can scale up globally, generate strong revenue and have high profit margins
👩💻 Strong Technical capabilities are clearly critical to win in this industry. How is Reo.Dev doing on this front?
- Dev is strongly Tech first. 70% of the team is comprised of Engineers
- Gaurav, our CTO, has 16+ years of experience. Previously, he was CTO of Kuliza where he built Fintech products that have processed transactions worth $250 billion across 19 countries. Prior to Kuliza, Gaurav was at Amazon and wrote some of the code that runs Amazon Web Services!
- Reo has a very strong Tech team with senior engineers in all departments. Some of them have worked with Gaurav in the past and are very happy to work with him again!
📃 Our Thesis
Technology is transforming every industry and developers are taking center stage in every modern organization across the world. Developers are playing a very active role in any software purchase made by the organization. Today this trend is strongly visible in the Developer tools industry. And there are signs that this pattern will emerge in other software categories as well. This transformation is driven by macro trends in the software development landscape such as emergence of composable architecture and the need for interoperability
Secondly, the way Engineering teams buy software is significantly different. Hence, the need for custom GTM tools that support this buying journey. You can read more about it here.
Reo is building for companies with a Developer focused Go To Market motion. We have unique insights on this problem, given our founding team’s background in this domain
