Episode notes
Scaling SaaS isn’t about hiring more salespeople or chasing vanity growth, it’s about brutal honesty, focus, and timing. In this episode of SaaS That App, four-time founder Geoff McQueen joins Aaron Marchbanks and Justin Edwards to to unpack the realities of SaaS scaling, from navigating the founder journey and making the services-to-product transition, to understanding venture capital dynamics, company exits, and what it truly takes to achieve sustainable growth. From pricing trade-offs to exit timing, Geoff shares hard-earned lessons on building, scaling, and selling SaaS in a market where barriers are low but the stakes have never been higher.
