In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is joined by Peter Berg, Managing Partner at M12 and ex-Visa, who shares how AI will be used in the software industry.

 

“It’s definitely changing, I think, the dynamic of the way software gets built, the speed at which it can get built. There are a lot of amazing tools. I mean, GitHub, obviously is one in the Microsoft ecosystem. GitHub copilot has been transformative, I think for developers, we’ve heard that from them directly, and I think that’s only going to continue in the way software both gets built and as also the notion of what software is might potentially change as well.“

 

Peter shares:

• His journey scaling Visa Ventures into a global program
• How M12 source deal flow opportunities
• The net new experiences and possibilities that are going to be created as a result of AI
• Modernising legacy infrastructure with AI
• The unintended consequences that may be on the horizon

In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is joined by Barb Hyman, founder & CEO at Sapia.ai, who shares how she overcame three big challenges to build an enterprise AI SaaS and raise $25M.

 

“So we tried and we didn’t succeed in building a new category. We had this concept a couple of years ago when we rebranded to Sapia that we were going to build this category around smart interviewer. And reality is it takes a lot of money, it takes a lot of commitment, consistency, and focus. And we realised that we were too insular, we were too leading with our product rather than really leading with your problems. And so we’ve really pivoted now to focus less on the category and much more on “here’s the value that you get”.

 

Barb shares:

• The pervasive bias in tech companies and tackling mirror hiring
• Why she believes the resume should’ve died a long time ago
• How Sapia have scaled the science of a structured interview
• Raising their $25M series A (incl having their largest customer invest in them!)
• How they’re solving turnover through machine learning
• Why having integrity with customers means having integrity with VCs

In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is joined by Brendan Noud, co-founder & CEO at LearnUpon, who shares LearnUpon’s journey scaling to $30M ARR and beyond.

 

“We’re now rolling out proper territories, which we really haven’t had, loosely up to now. But now we properly have that for our team, it’s obviously a much bigger sales team, just the importance of functions like revops, starting to get into that level of data, and how you scale your go-to-market becomes much more important.“

 

Brendan shares:

• His entrepreneurial journey; from tax returns at 11 years old to strategy consulting at KPMG
• Why LearnUpon chose to bootstrap for their first 8 years
• The ONE thing LearnUpon does to ensure team members are truly bought-in to the company’s journey
• The biggest accelerator that founders can control and how it leads to great growth
• How they went from $10M to $30M ARR in four years (and their plan to get to $100M by 2030!)
• How they navigated expanding into new markets

Corrily Wins First-Place in Inaugural SaaStock USA Global Pitch Competition.

Competing against 18 scaling SaaS companies looking to prove product market fit, market validation, and promising business models, Corrily comes out on top.

 

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM. August 15, 2023 — Corrily, San Francisco based monetization growth engine, joined global SaaS businesses in Austin, Texas (May 31 – June 2, 2023) to take part in SaaStock USA’s inaugural Global Pitch Competition. A three-part pitch series, Corrily’s co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, Alex David, participated in the final round against OneUp Sales and Userflow before being crowned winner. 

 

Alex David, Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer at Corrily, said of the Global Pitch Competition:

“The pitch competition was an exceptional experience. Not only were we able to showcase our company, creating leads for our business – we were also able to meet and network with the other contestants, all of whom were amazing founders in their space. Winning the competition was the cherry on top – along with the fundraising support that it helped drive!”

 

Their SaaStock USA Global Pitch Competition win marks a new milestone in Corrily’s SaaS journey. Beyond gaining global recognition and access to SaaStock’s network of investors, the result reinforces Corrily’s potential in the fintech space.

 

Corrily’s revolutionary approach to monetization has led to remarkable results for their customers; experiencing monthly recurring revenue (MRR) increases of up to 50% within just sixty days of implementation. Harnessing the power of AI and machine learning, Corrily’s suite of tools enables businesses to drive profitable growth, whether they are embarking on their monetization journey or seeking to optimize existing strategies.

 

Based in London, SaaStock – founded by Alex Theuma – hosts its flagship annual conference in Dublin, Ireland – the economic impact of which is over €16 million across the last seven years. Alongside the company’s latest annual conference addition with SaaStock USA, the company hosts numerous local meet-ups across nine cities around the globe, including Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, and Krakow. 

 

SaaStock in Dublin boasts an average:

• 6000+ Attendees

• 2500+ Companies

• 600+ Investors

• 130+ Speakers

 

On the event, Alex David comments:

 “SaaStock USA was an incredible experience, especially considering it was the first one. The event clearly showcased the team’s experience in managing the Dublin event – with great speakers, valuable sessions, well-organized networking, and relevant vendors. It’s hard to continue innovating and growing tech conferences, as they often become primarily a sales playground and the speakers quickly become more about drawing a crowd than being actually tactically useful. Nevertheless, SaaStock has managed to grow an excellent event while keeping it genuinely useful.”

About SaaStock

SaaStock brings together the highest concentration of SaaS decision makers under one roof, making  it the world’s most impactful conference for SaaS founders on the journey to $10M+ ARR (and beyond).

With an overarching aim to facilitate deep, meaningful connections, we help SaaS founders and their teams grow their network, build valuable connections, secure investment and all while having fun doing it. Founders are able to learn from one another, transfer knowledge and share war stories, support each other and give feedback on their businesses – all in the name of creating a powerful and lasting impact.

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
