Listen "#300 - The most valuable advice from 23 B2B SaaS CEOs"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to episode 300 of the Tech-entrepreneur on a mission podcast.
Because this is a big milestone on the journey I didn’t want to devote this podcast to one guest – instead, I got 23 B2B SaaS CEOs on the mic.
A big element of every single episode of the podcast is my question at the end of each episode.
What would be a Do or a Don't that you'd like to share with other SaaS entrepreneurs?
And so, I’ve made a hand-picked selection of these Do's & Don'ts from the last 100 podcast episodes
Let's start with the Don'ts
Neta Meidav, CEO Vault Platform: Don't take other entrepreneurs advice on face value.
Melissa Kwan, CEO eWebinar: Don't start a business that you hate even if it has success.
Emil Jimenez, CEO Mindbank AI: Don't think about the money
Aleks Gollu, CEO 11Sight: Don't bother people will steal your idea
Toni Hohlbein, CEO Growblocks: Don't forget where you are in the process
Sunny Han, CEO Fulcrum: Don't allow comfort to take over
Jon Ricketts, CEO Writerly: Don't limit yourself in your thinking
Patrick Woods, CEO Orbit: Don't ignore yourself
Charlotte Melkert, CEO Equalture: Don't think you need to in control of everything
Antony Thomson, former CEO Loopin: Don't bring new people on unless you're 100% oversubscribed.
Barrett King, Sr. Manager Global GTM Strategy, Partner Ecosystem Hubspot: Don't use the sentence: I'm gonna build a partner program
Christian Owens, CEO Paddle: Don't malign yourself with having 2 different interpretations of what a good outcome looks like
And now over to the Do's
Melissa Kwan, CEO eWebinar: Do create your own definition of success
Amir Konigsberg, CEO Pragma: Do something that can be genuinely valuable for someone else
Lars van Wieren, CEO Starred: Do walk the walk and talk the talk
Patrick Woods, CEO Orbit: Do aggressively comunicate - keep everyone on the same page
Christine Tao, CEO Sounding Board: Do ask for what you need
Ahmed Elsamadisi, CEO Narrator AI: Do bring your entire team for decision making
James Malley, CEO Paccurate: Do learn to fight fair
Mads Wedderkopp, CEO Dreaminfluence: Do write the rules before you start
Neta Meidav, CEO Vault Platform: Be human - Be a mensch
Josh Haynam, CEO Interact: Do highlight positives
Guillaume Moubeche, CEO Lempire: Do document as early as possible
Rami Darwish, CEO Arrow Labs: Do plant some small flags ahead of time
Erdem Gelal, CEO Flowla: Do build a true fan base
Ryan Falkenberg, CEO CLEVVA: Do own the outcome
