The Case Assignment
How would you grow Coinsource B2B Sales?
Case Synopsis
Since 2015, Coinsource has been able to validate the demand for easy-to-use Bitcoin ATMs for consumers. After validating the B2C model, in 2020 they launched a B2B approach, which enables enterprise customers from around the world to leverage their technology and infrastructure to own and operate their own network of Bitcoin ATMs. This turnkey Platform as a Service (Paas) model is enabling Coinsource to grow into the go-to standard for Bitcoin ATMs.
There are currently over 14,000 Bitcoin ATMs globally; 6,000 of those are located in the US alone. Bitcoin ATMs are growing 250% faster compared to the launch of traditional ATMs in the 1980s and 1990s. Coinsource anticipates there will be over 100,000 Bitcoin ATMs within the next 3-5 years and aims to control that market.
The goal for Coinsource is to provide and sell the underlying software that powers at least 80% of Bitcoin ATMs through their B2B Strategy. Coinsource wants your help in expanding the adoption of their Platform as a Service (PaaS) model so they can grow into the global leader of Bitcoin ATMs.
