We See Continued Opportunities For Disruption In Vertically Focused Business Software
Key
BOWERY CAPITAL 4
• Given category expansion and vertical market development we add Healthcare, Restaurant, Education, and Agriculture vertical market SaaS to v2.0.
• We eliminate Oil & Gas, Natural Resources, Real Estate, and Hospitality vertical market SaaS from v2.0.
• Legal and Construction vertical market SaaS have changed materially since v1.0.
• Legal vertical market SaaS has shifted from green to yellow mainly driven by slowing of opportunities in the market. Legal SaaS has been averaging only 2 deals per quarter over the last few years and has the lowest total exits in comparison to other vertical market SaaS.
• Construction market SaaS has shifted from yellow to red primarily driven by the market size relative to that of other vertical market SaaS. The market is highly fragmented due to the presence of several established companies and small scale players. Many current offerings are focused on a core area within construction. Opportunities may become appealing as larger companies roll up smaller niche players to develop comprehensive solutions and clear up the competitive landscape.
• Three new verticals were added to the report this year: Restaurant, Education, & Agriculture.
• The Restaurant software market is relatively small but is experiencing strong growth YoY. Traditionally restaurant operators felt that technology would ruin the client experience which resulted in a slowdown in tech adoption. However, recently technology has started to become leveraged beyond the POS to streamline processes such as staffing, inventory management, reservations, and other areas.
• The Education software vertical has gained prominence over the last few years and has seen good growth YoY. Currently a majority of educational software spend is on content and instructional support providers. Educational institutions have continued to slash their budgets and so growth in sector is expected to be contributed to corporate spending on education software.
• The Agriculture software market while small has been experiencing rapid growth both from a market spend perspective as well as funding in the ecosystem. As farm management continues to adopt technology for efficiency across all farm operations, coupled with supportive government regulations, the market will see continued growth and opportunity creation.

ⅠⅠⅠ. Drones /
BOWERY CAPITAL 12
• Commercial drones would be helpful in many industries for surveying and covering large areas efficiently.
• In the private sector, while agriculture and forestry are early adopters of drones, businesses are starting to use drones for monitoring, especially enterprise asset management (EAM) and facilities/infrastructure management.
• The new FAA regulations has made great progress in removing barriers of entry for businesses wanting to use drones and for SaaS companies wanting to provide solutions, although there is still need to advocate for looser regulations.
Overall Spend on Drones
• The aerospace market for drones is an emerging industry, transitioning from hobbyists to businesses.
• New Part 107 Drones Regulation by the FAA has made great progress in removing barriers of entry for businesses. It allows commercial use of small drones weighing under 55 pounds and simplifies the process for a operator to obtain a remote pilot certificate.
• Key trends likely to emerge in the drone technology space: – Software for specific purposes designed to work across different drone types. – Because the demand for drones for surveillance and monitoring purposes from
energy, telecomm and construction verticals will increase, SaaS companies providing video analytics, object recognition, and image metadata processing solutions will be on the rise.
– Artificial intelligence will be likely to play a role in aerial data collection and subsequent data management and analysis.
• Right now drones have to be within visual line of site (VLOS) of the operator according to FAA. Widespread adoption depends on the permission of beyond VLOS (BVLOS) flights and may be years away.

Ⅶ. Construction /
BOWERY CAPITAL 24
• 2016 is a strong year for the construction industry, with a predicted growth rate of 6% and the value of total U.S. construction starts reaching $712 billion.
• The increasing use of mobile technology and cloud-based software will continue, and the need for mobile applications to integrate with office software is growing.
• BIM (Building Information Modeling), combined with augmented reality (AR), will provide users with better visualizations.
Spend on Software by the Construction Industry
• There has been notable expansion in the construction industry, the Dodge Outlook Report predicts that total U.S. construction starts for 2016 will rise 6% to $712 billion, following gains of 9% in 2014 and 13% in 2015. This provides opportunities for entrepreneurs looking to venture into construction. • Construction companies traditionally have very slim IT budgets, sometimes even smaller than 1%. Therefore, there must be a clear return on investment (ROI) from the purchase of new software. • As with many industries, construction firms have really begun to embrace the cloud and mobile platforms in recent years. • Potential disruptive business models include: - As contractors are working towards paperless job-sites (more than half are using
pen and paper), the demand for collaboration software (workflow/task/document management softwares) that are accessible on various mobile devices and can be integrated with office software will increase.
- Data-driven design through Building Information Modeling (BIM), combined with augmented reality (AR).
- The explosion in the sources of field data will require data analytics softwares that provide insights for contractors to boost productivity.
- Frontier Tech: Drones will help analyze and track progress on construction sites.

Ⅷ. Restaurant /
BOWERY CAPITAL 27
• Restaurant operators are starting to embrace various consumer-facing and behind-the-counter technologies. Limited-service restaurants have a significantly higher adoption rate.
• Established players are more focused on certain submarkets including point-of-sales system (Oracle, Aloha), payment processing (Square) and online ordering (Seamless). Behind-the-counter space offers a lot of room for modernization or optimization.
• UI/UX and strong arguments for ROI will be key for successful solutions.
Spend on Software by the Restaurant Industry
• Most players in the space tend to focus on optimizing a specific point solution while some established scale players provide solutions across different consumer-facing submarkets. (e.g.: OpenTable is in marketing, reservations, CRM and diner analytics.) • Food delivery startups have continued to be popular, raising $5.5 billion in 2015. • While the consumer-facing restaurant tech market is crowded with many players and overlaps, kitchen and back of the house need tech upgrades and offer opportunities for optimization: - Inventory Management (food spend and supplier pricing monitoring, invoices
management) - Task Management (prep, checklists) - Predictive Analytics (actionable data, performance metrics for operators) • Staffing and staff management could also be an area for disruption. The staff scheduling space is crowded, but opportunities still exist in onboarding & education and staff analytics. • Restaurant operators are worried that technology will complicate the experience for diners, so building a user-friendly, streamlined solution will be key for more adoption.

Ⅸ. Education /
BOWERY CAPITAL 30
• Over the past few years there have been massive investments in the edtech space, and the future of the edtech landscape will depend on the success of the first generation of edtech companies.
• A few submarkets that have been gaining traction include the specific learning space (tech learning, language learning), enterprise learning space, and learning management systems space.
• Moving forward, the market will see opportunities in personalized learning, learning analytics, lesson planning, and micro credentials/skill training.
Spend on Software by the Education Industry
• Funding to edtech companies is booming. Overall, the period from 2010 to 2014 saw more than a 503% growth in investment dollars. •However, investment has been slowing down in 2016. Investments in the first generation of edtech made it difficult for the second generation of companies to attract investment, as investors are watching this first cohort closely to gauge results. •There have been numerous acquisitions in the space, but very few IPOs. •The K-12 institutional market is limited, and more investment opportunities exist in corporate learning and higher education. • Potential disruptive business models include: - Personalized (adaptive) learning: empowered by machine learning, this technology
can adjust to a learner’s demonstrated performance level, and anticipate what types of resources learners need at a specific point in time to make progress.
- Learning analytics: The big data analytics platforms can empower active learning, identify students in danger of failing and provide targeted assistance.
- Corporate training: In the corporate space, we are seeing the rise of skill training (primarily coding and digital literacy) and English language learning.
- Online lesson planning platforms: There will be more opportunities in this space as flipped classrooms (students will learn outside of the class so that class time is used for higher level skills work) require teachers to move courses online.
