Joining us today, I am thrilled to welcome, Mark Geene, CEO @ Cloud Elements the cloud API integration service that uses uniform APIs to connect your application with entire categories of services.

  • What was the origin story behind Cloud Elements and how Mark became CEO?
  • What does it take for a company to transition from a 50 person company to a 500 person company?
  • How does Mark apply lean startup methodology to SaaS?
  • When is the right time to really invest in sales and marketing?
  • Does the lack of SaaS exits greater than $500m concern Mark?
  • Why have we seen the rise of the API economy and what does the future hold?

In a round we call the 60 Second Saastr, we also hear:

  1. What lesson has Mark learnt recently that changes the way he works?
  2. Mark's favourite SaaS resource?
  3. Vertical vs platform SaaS play?
