“Developing the right products is mission critical for all software companies. And yet, for many companies, R&D spending is a black box. They allocate capital without a clear strategy and without the right metrics and governance to understand how that money is being spent. This approach impedes innovation and growth.”

Boston Consulting Group

R&D doesn’t have to be a black box. Demystify R&D spend with Jellyfish.

As companies scale past their initial stages of growth to ~$100M+ in revenue, they tend to spend ~30% of their annual top-line on R&D, with 75-80% of that spend going towards headcount. Yet, R&D widely remains a mystery.

  • What are R&D teams working on?
  • Are they focused on business critical projects?
  • How do you evaluate performance and efficiency in an objective manner?
