🚀 Course Overview: We've examined a myriad of bootstrapping techniques in our previous courses, but the trend that's capturing the attention of the tech industry is Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and its burgeoning developer ecosystems.

📈 The PaaS Revolution: Case Study: Salesforce has set the benchmark for PaaS success, launching a platform that has spawned numerous significant companies and small businesses. Companies like Veeva, for instance, were built on Salesforce's platform and today stand tall with over $1B in revenue and a market cap exceeding $20 billion.

🔮 The Future of PaaS: My research suggests that from the 200+ SaaS companies that have reached scale, a subset will evolve into significant PaaS players. This could mean the emergence of 20-50 PaaS platforms with vibrant developer communities and app marketplaces. These PaaS vendors aim to sell apps developed on their platforms to their customer bases, collecting a 30% platform commission, and thus supporting and scaling robust businesses exponentially.
