The market has disproportionately sold off smaller-cap SaaS companies on fears of AI disruption, but many have the DNA to adapt, have real-world integrations, enterprise-grade security, and privileged API access that create moats. The broad sell-off based solely on size misses nuance, and as companies make credible adjustments in the agentic layer and show sustained revenue growth, a repricing will occur.

Remitly is laser-focused on remittances and financial services for migrant populations, a distinct segment from Wise. It is undervalued at ~2.5x sales despite strong growth and profitability scaling. Fears around migrant policy and stablecoins are overblown as its business is based on legal migrants and fiat currency needs, and demographic trends (low fertility in developed nations) support long-term migrant flows.

Sprout Social is an enterprise social media management platform with privileged API access to major social networks, a difficult-to-replicate moat due to legal and security complexities post-Cambridge Analytica. The market prices it for bankruptcy at 0.5x EV/sales (down from a $6-7B enterprise value), but the underlying business is stable with guided 8-10% revenue growth and a critical utility role for enterprises in social media management. Not much has to go right for a double.

Wise is a generational company with a large market opportunity beyond remittances into broader financial services for developed markets and businesses. It has a different customer segmentation and infrastructure than Remitly, and its growth profile remains strong.

Xometry is a digital manufacturing marketplace that connects fragmented buyers and suppliers for custom, non-contract manufacturing parts. It is in early innings with 20-30% growth, a huge TAM, and is successfully breaking into enterprise by integrating with procurement systems. It has scaled to customers spending over $10M annually, disproving short thesis concerns, and has strong incremental margins.
