create is the true power of an API business.
Not knowing the value your 
customers will create is the 
true power of an API business. 
Johannes Lundberg - Exec I/O Mobile 2014
SaaS CTA - sign up
API CTA - understand
Characteristics of an API business 
1. Community building, not sales 
2. Requires long term commitment 
3. Can be very low churn, high LTV 
4. Often crucial for customers’ success
The essence of an API 
Turning traditional complexity 
into programatic simplicity.
