Mobile Enterprise Trends 2016 Midyear Review

The first half of 2016 saw a continued increase in activity in the mobile enterprise market. Between major mobile enterprise announcements from the likes of Apple, Google, Microsoft, Oracle, and SAP — and an uptick in company creation and venture activity in the space — it is becoming increasingly clear that mobile is the next major platform in business.

At Emergence Capital, we have been studying and publishing on the mobile enterprise space for over three years, and continue to be extremely excited about what mobile can do for businesses of all types and sizes. In our view, mobile makes two things possible in business. First, mobile makes existing applications better by making them more accessible. In fact, as a result of end user demand, there are very few enterprise applications today that don’t have a companion mobile app.

Second, and perhaps more importantly, mobile makes it feasible to build applications for “deskless” workers that have never had the benefit of a computer at work to help them be more productive. Deskless workers comprise 80% of the world’s workforce and can be found in industries such as construction, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail. Imagine how much value can be created for this part of the working world when they can move away from manual and paper-based processes and instead use mobile based technology to get their jobs done. At Emergence, we believe there will be many billion-dollar mobile enterprise companies created to address the deskless worker population.

We hope you enjoy our 2016 Mobile Enterprise Trends Midyear Review. We look forward to your feedback and to being part of the continuing dialogue about the impact of mobile on enterprise.

Overview of Mobile Enterprise Funding Activity 1H 2016

• 28 companies were added to the mobile enterprise landscape in the first half of 2016. This brings the total number of companies on the landscape to 341, an increase of 9% versus our last landscape update in the fall of 2015.

• Venture funding of mobile enterprise companies increased 14% to $370MM in the first half of 2016 versus the same period in 2015. While this may not seem like amazing growth, overall U.S. venture funding decreased by 1% in 1H 2016 versus 1H 2015 according to CrunchBase.

• Several mobile enterprise segments have seen significant funding growth this year. These include horizontal segments such as sales/marketing and HR — as well as industry-specific areas including education and restaurants. Interestingly, two mobile enterprise segments that have seen very strong funding over the past several years, healthcare and communication, have so far seen less investment activity this year than they did in 2015.

• Mobile enterprise financing activity skewed more toward growth-stage rounds than early stage rounds in the first half of 2016. As a sign that there are a growing number of mobile enterprise companies that are gaining scale, more dollars went into Series B-D rounds than Seed and Series A rounds in the first half of 2016.

• A growing number of major venture firms are beginning to build mobile enterprise portfolios. Additionally, several of these firms now have multiple mobile enterprise investments.
