Let’s use the simple EV-to-Sales measure for illustrative purposes. It’s really a difficult battle to win when one of your competitors is outspending your Sales & Marketing, and R&D by 80x and 90x, respectively! What About Valuation? In contrast, for the first half of 2021, Nitro Sign spent $1.8 million in R&D and $5.4 million in Sales & Marketing. DocuSign could do that because it delivered nearly $1.5 Billion in revenue, up 49% over 2020! In fiscal year 2021, DocuSign spent $278 million in Research & Development (R&D) and $866 million in Sales & Marketing. And that’s where the scale starts to matter. Just do a Bing search! And a lot of success in this industry is based on building integrations with other applications and solving specific use cases such as contract management.
