Rob Walling: 我认为将白标集成视为一种技术债务是合理的。如果它们没有问题,我不会优先考虑修复它们,除非它们对公司的生存至关重要。在没有问题的情况下,我可能会等到ARR达到一百万甚至更多时才考虑替换它们。白标组件与自定义组件的最佳组合取决于公司发展阶段,规模越大,自定义组件的比例应该越高。在达到一定ARR后(例如50万或100万),应该优先考虑逐步迁移白标组件。白标组件对公司估值的影响取决于其在公司功能中的占比以及是否出现问题。 Craig: 我已经构建了一个B2B SaaS公司,它为HR团队提供分析平台。为了MVP,我们构建了许多组件,例如我们的数据市场和管道,但对于其他组件,我们决定使用其他SaaS解决方案的白标版本。我们更喜欢不依赖其他SaaS公司,但由于我们是自举启动公司,我们发现白标组件是实现产品市场契合和启动MVP的一种快速且低成本的方法。我的问题是:如何考虑自建组件和白标组件的组合?这种最佳组合是否会因增长阶段而异?如果我们有一天要出售公司,对其他SaaS的依赖是否会影响我们的估值?
