SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
How I Pivoted From Flat and Unhappy to $6m and High Growth

Guys, where are we at and what can we quantify quarter over quarter and start to knock this down?

Hey, you know what?

What else can we do?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
How I Pivoted From Flat and Unhappy to $6m and High Growth

Well, we've got a whole list of ideas and product feature set that we can build.

So the idea with this is you've got features, you've got a backlog, you've got stuff you want to build, but how do you move towards a fast, iterative, pressure-focused approach that over time you evolve and then you can start to move up market with that feature set?

So MTP is like, what's the bare minimum we can create to test?

Let's bring in some customers, let's test this bare minimum, and then let's start to evolve from that.
