I'm curious for jalehr/Mutiny's take on this dilemma (without giving away their secret sauce): Many B2B companies drive the majority of their growth from other sales channels beyond the marketing website. And traffic can sometimes be low on the marketing site, especially through any multi-click funnel, that running effective tests can take a long time. Has Mutiny seen these cases (marketing site not having enough tra…

It's definitely something we see, and it's what makes a/b testing really tough in b2b. Personalization tends to have significantly higher lifts than a/b testing since you can speak directly to an audience. Since statistical significance is a function of lift and conversion volume, you can get to results much faster if you run experiments with higher expected lifts. We also have an outbound personalization feature tha…

Great thoughtful answer, thanks!

How big is the market for your target audience (saas business)?

Depending on the source, there are close to 25-30k saas/iaas/paas companies, and growing extremely quickly. We serve any B2B company so our market is much larger. Another way to look at it is that 200k+ companies use A/B testing and personalization is the next evolution in optimization.

Mutiny, huh? Inspired by Halt & Catch Fire, by any chance? :-)

haha no, but we get that a lot. Great show! We picked the name for the implied spirit of change and rebellion. B2B has changed a lot over the past 5 years and the tech stack has not kept up to enable good marketing without constant dependency on engineering. It's time for better software that empowers every great growth marketer to build an awesome user experience and grow their company.

Good work. This is something I could employ right now. Any estimations on price plans?

Pricing depends on monthly website visitors. We also have a startup package for companies with https://jalehrezaei.typeform.com/to/OM9rmm?utm_campaign=hack...

How many visitors do you have?

Congrats on the launch! I'm working on an ecommerce product targeting enterprise customers; does Mutiny work with sites built on Shopify?

Mutiny works with any CMS so shopify is technically fine. What type of personalization do you want to do? If you have a ton of products and want to dynamically change the product you show, it might be better to build a server side implementation. We are not quite optimized for big e-commerce sites who want to optimize SKUs - that's much more of a b2c use case. Send me the site and what you are trying to do, and I can take a look.
