In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show, our host Alex Theuma is joined by SaaStock Founder Member Jamie Akhtar, co-founder & CEO at CyberSmart, who shares how to build your team and performance as you scale to $5M ARR.
"Your challenges just shift - in many ways they become more difficult because you're doing stuff that you've never done before. For me, it's been about being passionate. I literally have a mouse map that says 'I love Mondays, My Favourite Day of the Week.' I'm super passionate about what we do and the people we work with, and I think that's allowed me to move the needle the most."
Jamie shares:
- His entrepreneurial journey (including never having been employed by another company!)
- Going from startup to scaleup
- Establishing a communication hierarchy as a company grows
- How they cracked a certain part of the market
- Sharing regular, consistent updates means building discipline
- Raising ~ £20M and having 60 investors on their cap table
and more!
