Bringing the software industry into context

At One Peak, the founders that we back all have one thing in common; they geek out on data to guide their business decisions.

But all too often, the data available to founders to make sense of the market forces impacting their businesses is simply not good enough.

That’s why we’ve built the One Peak Market Index (OPMI), monitoring software market momentum and health in the context of global macro-trends.

The One Peak Market Index (OPMI) leverages alternative data points that are difficult to collect at scale, such as employee headcount evolution coupled with software industry, business model and funding stage classifications, to unlock a powerful proxy for company and market momentum.

Employee headcount evolution serves as a leading indicator of a company’s health and expansion plans, reflecting management’s confidence in future demand, successful funding rounds and increasing market share. Employee headcount evolution can also be tracked in real-time unlike financial reports, offering up-to-date momentum signals, while providing a wider coverage of market by allowing private, bootstrapped and funded companies to be assessed within the same set.

OPMI isn’t just a tool—it's a strategic advantage. Using OPMI, software founders are empowered to answer challenging questions, such as:

  • How does my company growth stack up against my industry peers?
  • Who are the most notable outperformers in my sector, and what are emerging sub-sector trends?
  • Which software categories are trending, experiencing rapid growth or consolidation?
  • Which regions or markets are showing the highest growth potential?
  • How is economic uncertainty affecting my sector?

OPMI brings an easy-to-use, intuitive interface for understanding these software market dynamics in the context of:

  • Funding stages
  • Geographies, with global coverage
  • Business models
  • Macroeconomic indicators such as interest rates, GDP growth, unemployment figures, customer confidence, economic sentiment, and more

OPMI is powered by Pulse, One Peak’s proprietary market intelligence platform, monitoring 15 million software companies daily and billions of data points capturing software market momentum.

Over the past decade, we’ve researched and invested in big, global software opportunities. We couldn’t be more excited to be sharing the data powering our perspective on what’s next.
