They say: "The first $175M is the hardest."


Marcus Räder from Hostaway surely doesn't hold back in this episode of B2B SaaS CEOs!


We discussed his worst mistakes, to save more cash yourself as a founder instead of taking money from early-staged VCs, the different stages of GTM strategy with ICP → the "exciting stuff" → the "boring stuff" → scaled strategy, don't try to be unique with your main KPIs → nail the boring and classical, and much more.
