  • Perfect Due Diligence on Autopilot with CEO Shlomo Mirvis of Intelligo Group

    Ryan is joined by the founder and CEO of Intelligo, Shlomo Mirvis. Intelligo focus on due diligence, business intelligence and risk management in SaaS form; they are on a mission to give businesses in the investment space the ability to run advanced background checks in a simple but incredibly effective way.

    Shlomo talks to Ryan all about who Intelligo are, whom they serve and the outcomes of their solution. Shlomo also talks about the importance of company culture as you grow and his single number one strategy for revenue growth.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Intelligo’s primary go-to-market approach is from two avenues, direct sales including inbound and outbound and partnerships.
    • The partnerships that Intelligo focus on are those who also sell to the same organisations as them, their competitors, which is usually any law, accountant or consultant firm. They also work with background check companies whom they don’t see as competition, as their own platform is unique and allows those companies to improve efficiency and customer value.
    • White labelling their solution is something that Intelligo are considering for the future.
    • Intelligo aren’t simply a background check company, they also manage risk, they look after everything from running reports to managing data and compliance.
    • Comprehensive background checks and due diligence investment processes are the niches that Intelligo decided to focus on for their platform's unique solution.
    • Shlomo wanted to enable trust at scale and help those who have previously been ‘burnt’. By building Intelligo he has made the process of due diligence and risk management simpler and safer for all involved in investing.
    • It’s essential to focus on a niche in the early stages of a business, to allow the company to build perfect product-market fit before expanding.
    • The best and most effective strategy for revenue growth is to provide value from all angles. Happy clients also mean great referrals, and providing value allowed Intelligo to grow.
    • As a CEO, Shlomo asks himself how he and his team can create a learning environment, where people aren’t afraid to take risks.

    BEST MOMENTS

     “We’re unique in the background check industry, we’re not just a background check company but a risk management platform”

    “We chose to focus on a very unique niche”

    “93% of series A companies don’t make it to series B”

    “We have a very good product market fit, clients are very happy”

    “We live in a world of too much data”

    “The best most effective strategy is providing value”

  • Revealing the BIGGEST Mistakes CEOs are Making Right Now with CEO of CaliberMind Eric Westerkamp

    Eric Westerkamp is the CEO of CaliberMind, he talks to Ryan about the biggest challenges he has faced in his career, why he believes that machine learning is the future of tech, as well as the biggest mistakes CEOs are making with their data. He also talks about the importance of a data-driven leadership approach and how to leverage machine learning appropriately.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • CaliberMind core clients are high-tech companies, tech-enabled service companies that are b2b; companies that understand how data relates to growth. Their primary revenue growth strategy is to focus on these companies with direct marketing techniques.
    • CaliberMind works by mimicking what a dedicated data science team would do for a company.
    • Companies are beginning to realize the impact of siloed teams on revenue growth.
    • A lot of marketing companies aren’t data-driven. They have to consciously make that decision and then decide how to get meaningful data and understand the questions they want to ask.
    • We are going to start seeing more accessible machine learning. People and companies are starting to realise the real-life application and this is the direction Eric sees tech going.

    BEST MOMENTS

  • Outsourcing Your Biggest Tech Problem - with Distro founder Chad Ingram

    Ryan is joined by Chad Ingram, CEO and founder of Distro, a platform where you can find, hire and pay remote developers. Chad talks about why he created Distro and how it solves one of the biggest problems in tech. The three-time founder also shares his philosophical and tactical takeaways from his experience in business.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Distro is primarily product-focused, they are trying to make the balance between this and acquiring new customers, without compromising on quality.
    • Previously you could either pay developers more money to retain them or you could contract a Dev shop to build your product. Distro created a third option for businesses.
    • Distro is Chad’s third founding company, previous to this he created both an employee benefits platform (Beny) and a customer engagement company (Jump).
    • After discovering how much he spent on Dev in his previous company and recognising how easily and frequently developers would move jobs, Chad was inspired to create a better solution. This is why he founded Distro.
    • It’s been the norm in recent years to brag about headcount, the bigger the number the better in some cases. However, Chad predicts this is beginning to change, due to a lack of talent and a downturn in Capital.
    • Companies are getting more creative about alternatives in hiring and building companies, particularly in roles and positions that they would have only considered as in-house staff previously.
    • You can solve most problems with capital but when you do so, you aren’t using your entrepreneurship skills and finding alternative solutions.
    • Being clear on your company values and it’s mission creates a clear path to enable growth.
    • To scale a company, you have to continue to do the ‘hard things’, over and over again.

    BEST MOMENTS

     “With Distro, we created an alternative to hiring a dev shop”

    “Being a SaaS business the majority of the expense on the P & L was headcount”

    “There’s just not as much talent now to meet the demand of these growing tech companies”

    “How we behave are our core values”

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Design teams can frequently slow down marketing. Superside is a solution that allows a company to get direct access to a dedicated team of top-rated creatives from all over the world.

  • Former Sales VP of HubSpot Reveals His Secret to Grow from Zero to $30 Million in 3 Years!

    In this episode, Ryan is joined by the founder and CEO of SaaS buying company Vendr. Ryan previously worked in a sales leadership position at HubSpot before creating Vendr, where he successfully grew from Zero to $30 million in just 3 years. He talks to Ryan about how he pivoted from sales to founder and shares his top secrets to scalable success and how you can do it too. 

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Vendr’s primary strategy for revenue growth is inside direct. They have found that mid-market is their sweet spot and rely heavily on this and an outbound strategy.
    • The creation of Vendr was to help companies buy software efficiently. Through their knowledge, expertise and management they help companies save both time and money as well as aid them in buying the perfect software fit.
    • Ryan always knew he wanted to build and run his own company but up until starting Vendr, he hadn’t had much success.
    • After creation, Ryan quickly realised how scalable his concept for Vendr was, it superseded his expectation of being a lifestyle business and has now raised over $215million in funding.
    • As almost every company in the world becomes familiar with SaaS they also quickly discover the chaos it can sometimes bring, Vendr helps to solve this.
    • Sales are the most important element in Ryan’s success, he believes in ‘selling first’, learning what the problems your customers have and then solving them and selling that solution to them.
    • Don’t build things simply because you think they might be useful or you want to have tech, build things that you know solve a problem.
    • “Let’s make it hard to not buy Vendr” was one of Ryan’s core principles when founding the business. He set out to ensure that the ROI for the customer would be so good and easy for them to understand that they can’t say no to buying their product.
    • Delight your customers, ask them why you are delighting them and then ask them to refer you. Then execute this, doing all the work for the referral. This is the highest closing channel Vendr use.

    BEST MOMENTS

     “I’ve tried plenty of start-ups in the past, all of them have failed”

    “If you can distil your business down to one line, it actually means you’ve drastically simplified your mission”

    “A lot of your problems go away if you’re selling”

    “Build things because it actually solves a problem”

    “Lack of transparencies leads to inefficiencies”

  • Building a Company from 0 to $835 Million in Under 8 years! with Andrew Peterson CEO and co-founder of Signal Sciences

    • It’s important to note that when you grow as a company, each time you double the number of members on your team you are transforming dramatically, particularly in the way you manage and operate.
    • Deciding whether to take venture capital or not isn’t a simple process. It’s important to weigh up whether you are happy for the company to be made public, to be sold or even go bust. These are the three main outcomes for backed businesses.
    • Ultimately, you need to decide whether you are more focused on growth or your own control over a business.
    • Perseverance is essential to any entrepreneur and business owner, you have to understand that the journey is long, Andrew states that it is a marathon that feels like a sprint the whole time.
    • Make sure you are thinking about your go-to-market strategy as early on as possible.
    • As you grow and hire, you still need to be involved in the day-to-day of the business, to help lead these teams and to continue to be engaged.

    BEST MOMENTS

     “Every time you are doubling the number of people on the team things actually change dramatically”

    “Are you trying to optimise a business around growth or are you trying to optimise around control, controlling a business”

    “Every time that you raise funding, you’re selling percentage ownership of your company to them”

    “Building a business is not just about building technology, it's about building all the pieces”

    Indus is the founder and CEO of Quolum. Former software engineer turned product marketer, he sold his previous company to Oracle. He was head of growth at Chargebee where he discovered a unique opportunity to cut out large SaaS costs for companies. Listen to this episode to hear Indus explain his interesting yet simple approach to SaaS.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Quolum is a subscription management business, helping clients consume SaaS in a way that works for them focusing on security, privacy and value.
    • Quolum’s primary go-to-market strategy is outbound, where they focus on finance professionals, particularly mid-market businesses, to enter their funnel.
    • Indus’ innovation around this subscription management product came from his experiences as chief of growth at Chargebee. It was here Indus found an astonishing amount of wastage in SaaS subscriptions.
    • Quolum created what they call a ‘SaaS’ card that clients only use to buy SaaS products, allowing them to be able to manage everything behind the scenes.
    • Brand building is essential to Quolum’s growth, focusing on being recognised for their innovative solutions that save companies both time and money.
