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

⭐️ Having to seize technology faster than the big industry leaders

⭐️ His 15+ years of working with conscious leadership coaches

and more!

In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is joined by Chris Herd, Founder & CEO at Firstbase, who shares how Firstbase grew to an eight-figure ARR with a 2,500+% increase in inbounds.

"If you want to replicate office working remotely, you probably shouldn't work remotely, because you're not leveraging the benefits. The benefits are you can hire people anywhere, you can hire the most talented people in the world not the most talented person you can afford in a certain mile radius of your office. You can put people in a position to do the best work that they've ever done in their lives because they can do their best work, organise their life around that, and work when they're most productive."

Chris shares:

🧑‍💻 His journey from semi-pro soccer to architecture to founding a company

🧑‍💻 The US being more conducive to risky ventures vs the UK

🧑‍💻 Firstbase's VC journey

🧑‍💻 The mindset shift in what being productive looks like

🧑‍💻 Why hiring the most talented people means meeting them where they are

🧑‍💻 Navigating company culture and burnout in remote work

In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is joined by Frederico Hohagen, Co-founder & CEO at Maplink, who shares why and how this $30M ARR SaaS bought out its investors.
