In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show, Alex Theuma is joined by SaaStock Founder Member and CSO at Expandi: Stefan Smulders! Stefan shares how Expandi bootstrapped to $7M in just over two years.

"Go hire people, as I was scared to do it, somehow. It was all new for us, but I really feel good now beside all these people in the company call, as they are way more clever than me and are solving things faster... so it's kind of a relief."

In this episode Stefan shares: 
🌟 Expandi's founding story
🌟 Why he joined the SaaStock Founder Membership (SFM)
🌟 How they scaled Expandi so quickly
🌟  Examples of what has worked well for the company
🌟  Their social focus (and why he got booted out of LinkedIn...!)
🌟 The hardest thing about bootstrapping a startup in 2023
🌟 Why he moved from CEO to CSO

and more!
