I often get pings from founders and investor friends asking for very specific private company benchmark data. Until now, the data was often anecdotal, and didn't surface super specific cuts of data.
Today, we're excited to share benchmarks that go beyond the norm with Emergence Capital's inaugural Beyond Benchmarks report.
(1) The first portion of the report answers top-of-mind questions around GenAI productization and commercialization in B2B.
(2) The second portion goes into a deep update on the state of the B2B Software Fundraising market (e.g., public market performance, private market number and size of deals by stage, etc).
(3) The third portion dives into company specific benchmarking data. It goes beyond just your traditional ARR growth rate benchmark, and delves into granular benchmarks, e.g., what is the median OpEx breakdown % by S&M, R&D, G&A?
Excited to be sharing this report with the public, and as always, would love your feedback!

Today, Emergence Capital releases its inaugural edition of Beyond Benchmarks, a deep dive into the metrics and trends observed across the early-stage enterprise cloud market. Many thanks to our VC partners and those that contributed to make this report possible! To give you a small snippet of what we found 👇
1) 60% of companies have already integrated GenAI into their service offerings, and an additional 20% are planning to do so this year.
2) Most companies are utilizing OpenAI as their primary LLM, but many are experimenting with multiple models - and we are noticing an early trend towards intelligently routing GenAI inference requests to different models based on cost, performance, and security.
3) Though we are in the initial innings of GenAI, we are seeing some positive signals - companies that implemented GenAI had 7% higher NDR than those that did not.
Beyond Benchmarks goes “beyond” with more GenAI trends as well as insights around the current fundraising environment and key performance metrics. This report is intended to give founders and their teams a window into how they’re performing relative to their peers and help them make better informed decisions. At Emergence Capital, we have always been focused on helping founders build iconic companies. We hope you find today’s report illuminating: https://lnkd.in/g6bnvAZM
