SHOW NOTES:

ARE THERE ANY VALID SOFTWARE BUSINESS MODELS LEFT?

  • Software business models keep running into road blocks
  • VC funding is slowing down, and interest rates are rising
  • Can OSS as marketing survive? 

WILL THE NEXT GENERATION PAY FOR SOFTWARE, IN ANY WAY? 

  • SaaS seems to work, if you can survive the burn rate to capture customers.
  • Is SaaS too expensive? Will variations emerge?
  • Any changing models (free to fee, open core, etc.) disenfranchise the users
  • OSS is getting less funding
  • Gaming is tied to engines and app stores
  • Will AI open up new business models? New licensing models?
