Hey everyone,

Welcome to the next issue of the SaaS Hill where SaaSy people get better at SaaS, tech trends in 5 munites or less

Let's discuss OSs 🖥.

⭐️ Intro

There is one interesting micro-trend in the SaaS space I noticed a few months ago. Some SaaS Companies use the keyword "OS" for their market positioning. For example, Intercom. Then I saw a few more companies that use this word on their websites and company descriptions.

And it turned out that there is a whole world of different OSs :)

Here is what we will discuss today:

👉 3 predictions about OSs👉 13 SaaS products that use OS for their market positioning👉 14 Services that use OS for their market positioning👉 10 examples of the trend👉 5 experts to follow👉 3 useful links👉 How Velaris raised $4.7 (an OS for customer success)👉 How Janel Loi monetized her Newsletter OS

🤔 Predictions

1. More SaaS companies will use an “OS” keyword for positioning their product in the market. See XStack (an OS for retailers)

2. They will use an “OS” messaging to indicate that they are building a compound and complex startup. See ZoomInfo (and their 4 OSs)

3. Solopreneurs and Content Creators also use an “OS” keyword. Typically it is used for online courses, Notion templates, lists of resources. So more and more creators will use “OSs” as a part of their content strategy. See Justin Welsh’s LinkedIn OS
