SharePoint Startups

Showpad is an enterprise sales enablement platform founded in 2011 by PJ Broughton that helps marketing and sales teams manage content and deliver branded buyer experiences. Starting from a mobile-first approach to solve a client's trade show problem, Showpad grew to 1,000 paying customers across 50 countries with an average contract value of $30,000, reaching $30M ARR with 70% YoY growth and 130% net revenue retention.

Martin Hadding, a Microsoft 365 architect with 20 years of experience, built SPRobot as a SaaS solution to solve the content sprawl problem he encountered repeatedly in enterprise consulting. His agency BeSolve (generating $800k revenue in 2022) invested $150,000 into the product, which is currently in beta and targeting SMBs at $150-200/month per tenant. The product is validated through a tight-knit Microsoft 365 community and will launch commercially within 3 months.
