In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is joined live from the SaaStock Studio at SaaStock Europe 2024 by Muhammad Younas, Founder & CEO at vFairs and Winner of the SaaStock Awards “Founder & CEO of the Year: People’s Choice”, as he shares his key lessons bootstrapping the business to profitability and $30M ARR.

“More than half of our business comes from word of mouth from our existing set of customer base. We are a strong believer that the best sales team is your existing customer base. So we go above and beyond. Even though we are in technology business, we typically say internally that we feel that we are in hospitality business. We want to be so close to the customer, give them that seven star experience that they go and spread that around.“

Muhammad shares:

  • Achieving profitability from day one
  • His number one piece of feedback for founders
  • Their go-to-market model and how they attract customers
  • Investing in talent above all else
  • The true definition of business: building long-term value for customers, employees, vendors, and the owner themselves

and more!
