IDC's Digital Native Business, Start-Ups and Scale-Ups advises technology suppliers on the dynamics, tech-buying patterns, and go-to-market approaches needed to effectively reach and engage digital-native organizations.
Digital Native Business, Start-Ups and Scale-Ups
Markets and Subjects Analyzed
The digital-native market segment represents an emerging and fast-growing group of organizations that were born in the digital-native era (i.e., post-2000). These organizations are obviously very tech centric and spend a significant amount of money on technology as it is the basis of their business model. However, the industry clusters and relative maturity of digital-native organizations vary dramatically. And the difference between an early-stage digital-native start-up and a scale up that has reached Series D funding and is potentially valued in the billions of dollars is significant. Hence tech vendors that are targeting this segment need to understand these dynamics. This research program provides the following:
- A taxonomy to help organizations understand in which areas the digital-native businesses play (by industry segment)
- Spending opportunities (how much they spend on technology and which areas are priorities) (This will look at the key opportunities in the various segments [edtech, martech, medtech, and fintech].)
- Survey feedback to understand which technologies are driving spend and how the digital-native organizations procure and deploy these technologies
- Feedback from these organizations in terms of where they need help from enterprise tech vendors to drive growth
- Examples of how the C-suite operates in the digital-native segment
