We've identified a segment that accounts for $40M ARR, requires a product we don't yet offer, and is actively shopping competitors this quarter.
Two competitors ship this quarter; the window is now.
Workato announced their mid-market tier in January. Zapier is piloting audit trails with 200 beta customers. If we wait until Q3, we enter as a third alternative in a category that's already defined—losing positioning leverage and forcing us to compete on price.
Cost of delay: $12M in pipeline at risk if we miss the Q2 buying cycle.
