Top 10 Software and SaaS startups in the USA

SaaS (Software as a Service) is a software distribution model where the service provider hosts the application at a data centre for customers to access it through the internet. It is also referred to as on-demand software. Using this service, customers do not need to maintain the hardware or other resources that were previously required. Now customers can access the software easily through a client program or web browser. 

The global public cloud software as a service (SaaS) market is projected to reach 157 billion U.S. dollars in size in 2020, more than doubling the market size in 2014. According to Hubspot’s 2019 compliance report, in 2019, 68% of organizations said they are mostly or all SaaS-driven, with about 23% saying they operate solely using SaaS apps. Almost two-thirds of the top 100 apps located in the U.S. are headquartered in Silicon Valley, California and nearly 80% of all top 100 SaaS apps in the world are located in the U.S.
