In 2021, ServiceNow's partner revenue was around $1-$1.5B. With projected growth, it could support several unicorns in the next 5-10 years.

In 2015, ServiceNow introduced the CreateNow Developer Program, urging users to develop applications and integrations. Accompanying this was the ServiceNow Store, an official marketplace allowing developers to target existing ServiceNow customers directly.

The ServiceNow ecosystem is transitioning into a development platform, with its app store gaining traction. Given its current trajectory, ServiceNow not only supports several billion-dollar businesses now but has the potential to mirror Force.com's success.

Base10 uses Force.com's development as a blueprint to analyze potential outcomes of other emerging ecosystems. Salesforce's ecosystem supports around 10 significant businesses, but as it expands, this could double or triple in the next decade.

The AppExchange's growth is gaining momentum. However, the standout aspect of Salesforce’s ecosystem is Phase 3, which has led to the creation of 10 significant software companies built on Salesforce's infrastructure, with several achieving multi-billion dollar valuations.

The Cloud platform evolved in 3 phases: Pre-Cloud, Cloud-Transition, & Cloud-Only. Cloud-Transition brought AWS, Google Cloud & Microsoft Azure. Today, Cloud-Only optimizes business use cases with SaaS unlocking new pricing & value models.

Example of Ecosystem Evolution: @salesforce launched Force.com in 2007, which has since grown to become one of the largest partner bases in the world, with partner revenue reaching an estimated annual run rate of $26B in Q1 2022.

We summarize the evolution of ecosystems into 3 phases, with phase one looking like a typical partnership ecosystem, and phase 3 more like developer platforms where businesses can actually build on the platforms themselves.

Generative AI is the intersection of two powerful platform shifts: AI/ML + Cloud. We're entering a period similar to the cloud transition 2006-2011, where some of the most powerful AI models will emerge.

The Cloud platform evolved in 3 phases: Pre-Cloud, Cloud-Transition, & Cloud-Only. Cloud-Transition brought AWS, Google Cloud & Microsoft Azure. Today, Cloud-Only optimizes business use cases with SaaS unlocking new pricing & value models.

At Base10, we analyze emerging tech for value, moats, and mission criticality. We've studied past platform shifts (cloud, mobile, social) to understand the potential of Generative AI. It's similar to the early Cloud platform shift led by AWS in 2007.
