True. But I would highly recommend that you consider "how to sell a B2B product" before considering legacy segments like ERP. Its non-trivial to build a new product from scratch in these spaces but there is an opportunity to build SaaS version of ERP products for small and mid-market customers. See these examples: http://www.coupa.com and http://www.nurturehq.com. Both are good products with large markets, are completely hosted and don't involve any legacy integrations which can be a killer.

However, all such products do require a systematic sales team/plan/process including inbound/outbound/inside sales kind of approaches to build revenue.

Its funny how Fred Wilson and others linked to the original post without commenting on the fundamental flaws in the twitter-Google discussion.


This is really interesting. Is there a way to choose why type of users review the site? Say my website is aimed at 15-30 year olds, then is there a way to do that?


Not yet. You're not the first to ask for this feature. The demographics of the reviewers are slightly more women then men, mostly 20-30 year olds, and over half have college degrees.
