This podcast is about scaling tech startups.
Hosted by Toni Hohlbein & Mikkel Plaehn, together they look at the full funnel.
With a combined 20 years of experience in B2B SaaS and 3 exits, they discuss growing pains, challenges and opportunities they’ve faced. Whether you're working in RevOps, sales, operations, finance or marketing - if you care about revenue, you'll care about this podcast.
If there’s one thing they hate, it’s talk. We know, it’s a bit of an oxymoron. But execution and focus is the key - that’s why each episode is designed to give 1-2 very concrete takeaways.

Insightful sums it up
I’m biased as I’m fortunate to work with Mikkel and Toni. But that also gives me confidence in saying that this is not a podcast that wants to waste your time with topics that don’t matter for the revenue space. It’s to the point and delivers on the promise of providing valuable insights from the industry.
