In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is joined by Dan Uyemura, gym turned SaaS enthusiast and Founder & CEO at PushPress, who shares his story building PushPress to $13M ARR.

“Everybody has tried being the CEO, I think it just stuck with me. And probably I’m the most natural fit to be the CEO that we need at PushPress, because even though I consider myself mostly an introvert and somebody who wants to just sit in my room by myself and do what I have to do, being a CEO – the CEO that PushPress needed was an outfacing, stand on a soapbox and talk to the world CEO – and of the three founders, I’m actually the probably the most equipped to do that.”

Dan shares:

  • His lifelong entrepreneurial journey from paper routes and lemonade stands to founder & CEO
  • The one thing that landed them their first investor
  • Loans, free money, and speakeasy fitness during Covid
  • Building a high trust quotient with clients
  • Creating leverage in a company

and more!
