The SaaS Revolution Show The SaaS Revolution Show

In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is joined by Lloyed Lobo, co-founder at Boast AI, who shares how he bootstrapped to $10M ARR and then exited through private equity.

"I know it’s an overused term “your network is your net worth”, but trust me, it’s the best way to engineer privilege. You may not have a network or you may not have influence, but if you create influence - just the compound interest on creating that influence - giving, giving, helping, bringing people together over time is you’re going to have everything you want."

Lloyed shares:
⚡️ His childhood in Kuwait and the positive impact the community had on him
⚡️ Why risk and companionship are part of his DNA
⚡️ Getting to eight figures in revenue with no marketing spend
⚡️ Why ignoring the influence of luck is a mistake
⚡️ The impact financial freedom had on his mental health

"Put the work that you do, both internally in how you build your own processes, but also the end product experience - put that through a lens of generative AI to see where things can be improve, where efficiency can be gained or where new value can be created. I think the next generation of companies will certainly have some kind of AI capabilities deeply ingrained in their DNA."

In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show, our host Alex Theuma is joined by Angeley Mullins, Chief Commercial Officer at Resourcify, who shares if branding in B2B SaaS has taken a back seat.

"So every founder and CEO has a voice, they founded their company for a reason, most people that founder their companies, you know, are overcoming a ton of adversity to found their companies and to raise capital. So use your voice, and whichever medium that works for you, if it’s giving panel sessions, if it’s being on the news, if it’s writing articles, doing a content blog, like you said it depends on the type of company and what they’re selling. You have a voice, and use it. That’s the most important thing."

Angeley shares:
🔥 Being a builder vs an optimiser
🔥 The value of team consensus and cohesion
🔥 Being in an era of sustainable revenue growth
🔥 The relationship between product market fit and brand identity
🔥 Building a brand that will keep paying off overtime (best done at Series A stage)
🔥 If TikTok is effective for B2B
🔥 The importance of being fearless. More people are afraid of success than they are of failure

In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is joined by Eynat Guez, Co-founder & CEO at SaaS unicorn Papaya Global, who discusses how she scaled the company beyond $100 million ARR.

"So, thinking on scale and thinking of really, really good processes and infrastructures is very important at this stage because otherwise you're just going to find yourself in an endless loop when you are trying to catch up people; we are trying to understand what they need. And obviously, I mean, this will impact their ability to grow, this will impact their ability to meet their targets. And then you're going to find yourself in the second loop, which you're constantly replacing people and training new people, but then you are not changing the narrative or changing the problem that you have."

Eynat shares:
🔸 Growing the business 300% YoY since year one
🔸 How keeping a lean team helped them scale quicker
🔸 Raising $5M in their first three years, and $445M in the following five
🔸 The importance of choosing the right clients at the right time- in the early days, focus on those with standards and needs you can meet vs the 'big-name' logos
🔸 Why the first $1M needs to be sold by the founder, not a salesperson
🔸 Their initial struggle around training infrastructures

In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show, our host Alex Theuma is joined by Godard Abel, Co-founder and CEO of G2, who shares the importance of applying AI to reimagine your product and your company to make a quantum leap forward in tough times.

It'll be easier to get from hundred to a billion than it was to get from, frankly, zero to one, you know, or even zero to a thousand dollars is the hardest right? And then I think each order of magnitude gets a bit easier if you stay with it. But it's, I'd say years of grinding. And then eventually we figured out the flywheel and it started spinning.

Godard shares:
⭐️ G2 becoming the buffet of SaaS and software
⭐️ Their 2-3 year journey to get to $1M ARR
⭐️ The AI alphabet - from LLMs to vector databases
⭐️ Launching Monty - G2’s first ever AI virtual assistant
