Once you’ve told the big industry story, you need to show depth and credibility within that industry.
Ways to reinforce industry expertise:
Customer Proof: Showcase customer case studies from that industry (bonus: use industry-specific metrics).
Partnerships: Highlight industry-specific integrations or co-sell agreements with relevant partners.
Industry Certifications & Compliance: Show that your product meets sector regulations (HIPAA for healthcare, SOC2 for fintech, etc.).
Dedicated Industry Events & Content: Speak at industry conferences, sponsor sector-specific reports, and engage in industry analyst briefings.
Industry-Specific Roadmap: Show that your product team is investing in features that matter to that industry.
