I think a lot of SaaS companies end up failing fast when they focus on the enterprise. The sales cycle is longer, and having a massive client can end up putting their individual needs over features that would make the product more attractive to the market as a whole.

SaaS makes the most money when users can self-service in large numbers at relatively low transaction costs, which typically means SMB should be your first market. The enterprise channel is where you go only once you have a mature product and a healthy revenue base to do the enterprise payola scheme with consulting companies.

When you go over after whales, they can fund your business without having to go after VC funding and you can milk them to go after smaller clients.
