Our take
G2 helps companies to compare the best business software and services based on user ratings and social data. Its rise emphasizes just how fragmented and competitive the market is for business software today, and how a company that provides a way to navigate through all the confusion has a very good shot at building a lucrative business.
Fundamentally, a vertical search engine that actually works and which can fill a gap in the market has massive potential, despite the dominance of Google and Amazon in so many areas of search and online commerce.
G2 Crowd is part of a large group of organisations that have sprung up online that provide reviews and competitive analysis of various software products. However, unlike many others G2 doesn't use an affiliate revenue model where revenue is earned through advertisement and clicks. G2 instead uses a similar model to Glassdoor, striving for authenticity and credibility.
The other area where G2 Crowd is hoping to build out its business is in areas of analytics and research — competing against the likes of Forrester, Gartner and IDC for profiles and sector analysis.
