On the latest episode of the SaaS Revolution Show, we host Marta Sjögren, Partner at Northzone, one of Europe’s oldest VC companies. Having been around for a few decades, Northzone has had a chance to put bets on many companies that are now bright tech superstars. Many of them are SaaS. Trustpilot, StepStone and HappyOrNot are just a few notable examples.

Marta has been with Northzone for almost 6 years. In the conversation, Marta covers a lot of the valuable lessons that lay in Spotify’s story that can be applied to B2B companies, from fundraising to pricing, packaging and scaling.

Listen on to hear:

  • What it means to be a "Born Global" company and how the home market should be used
  • Key lessons from Spotify’s pricing and packaging
  • The secret to scaling successfully as Spotify
  • At SaaStock on Tour Helsinki, Marta will host a fireside chat with the CEO of HappyOrNot, one of her portfolio companies.
