Description
Growing a SaaS Company:
Keys to Success and Pitfalls to Avoid
New SaaS companies are popping up all over Nashville, and the greater tech markets. Because the SaaS business model is driven by recurring revenues rather than large, up-front fees, companies must manage their business differently, including how they set up financial processes, invest in resources, and use the built-in advantages of the SaaS model. After all, SaaS isn’t just about a paradigm shift in technology. It also requires a business and cultural shift in how companies are organized and run. Join Mike Cerino from Growthwright a CFO to multiple emerging technology companies deploying SaaS technology and Seth Hobgood, principal and CTO of Interoptex an emerging SaaS interoperability company to learn the keys to success in starting a SaaS company and pitfalls to avoid.
