NEW PRODUCT RELEASE: Investment insights – Compare and analyze key statistics in private markets
Future of work investing is no longer a trend, it’s a strategic advantage.
As remote work, the creator economy, and AI productivity tools redefine how businesses operate, private market investors are presented with unique, high-growth opportunities. This article explores how investors can leverage remote work SaaS, creator monetization platforms, and AI-driven productivity to stay ahead, and how DealPotential helps identify the best private companies leading the way.
Remote and hybrid work models have evolved from temporary solutions to long-term business strategies. By 2025, 22% of the U.S. workforce will work remotely full-time, while globally, nearly 28% were remote in 2023 (Splashtop). These changes have fueled demand for remote collaboration tools, project management software, video conferencing, and secure cloud infrastructure.
Platforms like Zoom, Slack, and Microsoft Teams lead the market, but new startups are solving emerging needs, such as asynchronous workflows, onboarding, and culture-building for distributed teams. For those focused on future of work investing, companies that provide scalable remote work infrastructure—HR tech, global payroll, file-sharing are ripe for investment.

Key growth drivers include rising content consumption, diversified revenue streams (ads, subscriptions, merch), and shifting brand budgets toward influencer-led marketing.
With this growth, investor interest is surging. Venture capital is targeting creator SaaS tools, IP marketplaces, and monetization platforms. The sector saw 22% CAGR from 2020 to 2024 and is projected to reach over $1 trillion by 2034 (Market.us). For future of work investing strategies, this space is a hotbed of opportunity.
AI has become a core enabler of productivity. Companies now integrate AI productivity tools for meeting transcription, email automation, analytics, and strategic decision-making. According to McKinsey, over 75% of organizations now use AI in at least one business area.
With global funding in generative AI nearly doubling to $45B in 2024 (EY), private market investors are focusing on B2B AI tools that deliver ROI through automation and insight.
