Startup Theatre Podcast #3 - Simon Small, A serendipitous journey riding the SaaS elevator
In this episode on the We F*@KIN love podcast, we speak with Simon Small who we literally pulled off the street to join us on the podcast.
Simon was one of the OG SaaS sales leaders who found his way into a startup by meditating.
Simon has a background in the Arts & Media and started Livestreaming and created three shows:
- SaaS on the Street is my chance to connect with the brightest SaaS Founders in the world
- Ride the Next Tech Wave is a profile on Global Tech Leaders (for NZ's TechWeek)
- Rooibos with Simon Small is offering help with career guidance (launched during COVID)
He has also created some Mastermind Training programmes and throughout 2020 he began having a massive impact on SaaS Founders.
He says some added several millions to their company valuation.
Simon is launching the inaugural website for SaaS Elevator which encompasses all of the training he has developed and delivered, plus some exciting collaborations with global experts.
He has also built a close network of investors and is beginning to raise money for SaaS Founders through a new division of his personal company (Moonshot Studio Limited) called SaaS Elevator Capital. He created SaaS Elevator Capital because he wants SaaS Founders to remember they have a choice and says capital raising avenues are largely unconventional (and inaccessible).
