SaaStr 787: 10 Ways Sales is Different in Vertical SaaS with Mangomint’s VP of Sales Marchelle Mooney

While some might dismiss sector-specific vertical SaaS software as ‘too small’ or ‘too niche’, companies like Veeva ($40B), Clio ($3B), Toast ($1.3B), and Slice ($1B) have proven there’s massive value in going deep rather than broad. Mangomint has quietly built an impressive vertical SaaS business in the spa and salon space, growing 100% year-over-year to approach $20M ARR with 110% NRR.
