Alexa Grabell, Founder of Pocus, shares the company's founding story, plus lots of product-led growth advice for go-to-market teams.

Pocus has ridden the PLG wave, earning $23 million in funding and landing big-name SaaS customers like Webflow, Loom, and Miro only two years since its founding.

In today’s episode, Alex and Alexa discuss:

  • The backstory behind Pocus's founding
  • Pocus's approach to fundraising
  • The role of sales in a product-led motion
  • When PLG companies should hire their first sales rep
  • Why Pocus isn't a product-led company themselves
  • And a bunch of other PLG best practices

Even if you’re not in PLG, there’s tons of gold sales and go-to-market advice in this episode.

Through building Pocus, Alexa has become one of the leading voices in product-led growth (PLG) and product-led sales.
