In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is joined by Frederico Hohagen, Co-founder & CEO at Maplink, who shares why and how this $30M ARR SaaS bought out its investors.
"Every contract is made for failure, not success. When you're signing a contract, it's because you have to work on everything that can go wrong, not go right. Because if everything's going right, why would you be signing?"
Fred shares:
