How to get into B2B deals

Hey guys, last year I built an website to match B2B advertisers and publishers. Like Ad-Mob but for bigger brands and platforms. Mostly think: the ability to seamlessly explore and book ad spaces in popular apps like PhonePe, Paytm, and Swiggy!!! But I still can’t get big enough clients with deep pockets to buy them. Most brands just directly go to the merchant ad websites so I tried to get informative dashboard to get people use it for market research. Still no growth. What should I do??? Can anyone help or explain what I am doing wrong!

Companies only want two things: 1. Increase in topline via more sales, better branding, etc 2. Increase in bottom-line via operational efficiency The above two without increasing the headache What you have done sounds pretty interesting, but maybe it increases the work of marketing team. Could you please share why clients are not getting onboarded? What reasons/excuses are they giving?

@SS_Croaker The main reasons are budget and brands. To place ads on top-tier apps you need a good enough budget and a brand that they can work with. Please have come up to me with 1/2.5 lakh budget which might seem big but is still small. Also most apps coming are RMG apps and games.

What's the minimum ad spend that you would prefer? Have you reached out to agencies? Big brands advertising is managed by agencies.

Nope, mostly I know the sales team so if any brand has budget or plans to show ads on top-tier apps, I help them with market research and negotiations. I plan to build my own SDK like AdMob but hard to sell to the app for now. Will have to target smaller apps with 100k+ downloads. Read the features page for now => https://adspace.gallery/features

Super interesting idea dude. As of now your website is good for basic level research. You will need to spend time and resources to create content that educate advertisers about the opportunities. Once you have content ready, start reaching out to funded consumer companies (ones with pre seed/seed/pre Series A funding). These folks have the marketing and growth intent but for obvious reasons can't hire expensive agencies to implement this kind of marketing for them.

@Damaru Yes brands can. I get all the data about the demographics and help brands setup their first campaign. Also negotiating with the top-tier brands like Swiggy, Zomato and PhonePe!!!

3 points acc to me: 1. can you suggest how is your platform diff from a dv360 kind of system or any programmatic platform for that matter? 2. most publishers will want the direct sales team to get ads at premium rates. 3. many of them also open inventory via programmatic deals and lastly they open some inventory via remnant open auction. my sense is your answer lies in the response of these 3 points.

@HopefulTv For now - 1. No programmatic platform or ad network as it is spread upload a lot of different apps. 2. Negotiating with multiple apps like Swiggy, Zomato and PhonePe can take weeks from starting to setting up campaigns. I handle all of that. 3. I am building an informative dashboard for brands to do research before setting up where and how to get the best demographics.

Had a chat with a Unicorn Founder

Was asking for some advice on fundraising. Got to know if you are building something with no revenue, literally impossible to raise. He explained how hard it is even for the current founders and expecting 100s of startups to fail next year with talent going cheap due to all the layoffs. Very hard to think how to monetise B2C if people don’t even link their credit or debit cards with Apple Pay and Android for in-app purchases. Also for B2B Saas, it’s better to build for US from India than building for India. Just “profit” over growth now. Nothing else matters 💭

Koo founder shares on why they can't pay salaries anymore to employees

Nice to see the openness. Can't imagine how tough it is, to have been derailed by incorrect signals during the bull market. I think they're genuine people who unfortunately could not get it to the right place. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/mayank-bidawatka-028b2a1_i-had-promised-updates-and-heres-another-activity-7189226150538240000-MmcI?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

SaaS v/s Social network

Hey startup founders, who've been there and done that. Is ConsumerTech dead with all the giant social networks already taking a users' screen time? A recent YC video (tarpit idea) suggested that B2B SaaS is good, B2C is shit. I feel if we have to build something big in India, for the people, the threshold is really high for a social network. On the other hand, B2C SaaS is not something that people would pay for easily, making it less scalable. So, what should one go about this?
