Guest: Melanie Nabar, Vice President at Volition Capital 

-- 

SaaS founders often see only two funding paths—venture or private equity—but there’s a smarter middle lane that keeps control where it belongs: with the founder.

In this episode, Melanie Nabar, Vice President on the Software Team at Volition Capital, joins host Ken Lempit to unpack how growth equity works, when it’s the right fit, and the scale-up mistakes that stall promising SaaS companies.

Key insights from this episode:

• Why growth equity can fuel SaaS scale without losing control
• The biggest post-funding hiring mistake founders make
• How AI is reshaping go-to-market efficiency in SaaS

If you’re a B2B SaaS CMO, CRO, or founder navigating scale-up challenges, funding strategy, or go-to-market transformation, this episode will help you see where real growth capital fits—and how to make it work for you.
