In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is joined by Justas Malinauskas, Co-Founder & CEO Whatagraph, who shares his three key growth lessons in getting Whatagraph past $5M ARR. "I get it. There's a lot of trend about bootstrapping in VC, and my point of view is if you can bootstrap and still maintain high growth and your business is feasible for that, that's great, do that. And I think if you can deploy more money and grow the business in a year instead of three years, so you should do that. So that's why these funds are there, just to speed up the growth. If the money doesn't speed up your growth, then for sure, why get it?" Justas shares: - His generational advantage towards tech - Whatagraph's founding story, including their north-star focus on the end user - Why retesting marketing channels is crucial to company growth - How to combine strengths and weaknesses of your product to make the customer successful - The benefits of joining founder peer groups; from unbiased advice to genuine connection building - The compounding interest of consistency and discipline and more.Check out the other ways SaaStock is serving SaaS founders 🇺🇸 SaaStock USA 2025: 13-15 May 2025 | Austin, Texas.

"When we started Salesloft in EMEA, we had one sales rep that was stellar. Everyone would just watch his calls. They all knew – watch his calls. And he got really good by watching one of the reps in the US. And it's just, you know, very informal, institutional knowledge but the point I'm trying to make here is, if you can identify that then you can coach that behaviour into people. You can tell people who the top performers are, you can make your top performers more vocal so that other people know where to find that content," Zack Lipton, Senior Revenue Enablement Manager at Salesloft The session was packed full of actionable takeaways to revitalise your sales team, including: - How and why to focus on innovation - OKRs and how to track and adapt long term goals - How to combat lengthening sales cycles - How you can coach and develop your sales reps to learn from top performers - And more!
