Eric Crowley, Executive Director at GP Bullhound, comments: “Fast-forward three years, most people will have 5-10 different CSS business subscriptions. Entrepreneurs are continuing to build better products, and consumers are seeing value in these services because for many of us, the idea of paying $30 per year to improve one’s life is very appealing.”
Alec Dafferner, Partner at GP Bullhound, adds: “We believe that the CSS business model enables companies to rapidly scale with attractive margins while also providing a compelling consumer value proposition. We are excited to help guide CSS companies through the next chapter of their evolution.”

Identification technology is growing as businesses look to reduce fraud, and companies are utilising sales-assisting SaaS to increase deal-making success. Outsourced big data handling is in high demand as companies aim for faster data-driven decisions, and logistics and retail businesses are focusing on applying machine learning solutions to optimise inventory management and merchandising. We are bullish the Cloud will continue to grow rapidly over the next several years in all areas of enterprise and B2B.”
