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!
