Frequently asked questions
Should a recent funding round make us more confident in a vendor?
It suggests the company has money to operate for a while, but investors back growth, not fit for your needs. Judge the product, references and contract terms on their own merits.
How can we protect ourselves when buying from a startup?
Ask for data export in standard formats, consider source code escrow for critical software, keep exit rights in the contract, and know how you would operate without the supplier.
What does a stock market listing change for customers?
A listed company publishes financial results and faces pressure on growth and margins, which can shape pricing and packaging. It also means more public information for your own due diligence.
