    #339 - Griffin Parry, CEO of m3ter - on taking the pain out of billing operations.
    2024/11/20
    This podcast interview focuses on the entrepreneurial journey to build mission-critical billing infrastructure for complex B2B SaaS pricing models. My guest is Griffin Parry, Founder and CEO of m3ter. Griffin Parry is a serial Entrepreneur. In 2013, he founded GameSparks, a backend-as-a-service platform for video games, which he sold to Amazon in 2017. Combining his firsthand experience with the challenges of usage-based pricing at GameSparks with the problems he encountered at a much larger scale at AWS became the founding idea behind m3ter. He founded m3ter in October 2020 - it's a platform that helps B2B Software companies manage complex pricing and automate complex billing calculations. Their mission: To enable B2B Software companies to deploy and manage usage-based pricing intelligently. This inspired me, and hence, I invited Griffin to my podcast. We explore what it takes to build a successful pricing and billing infrastructure company. Griffin shares his experience identifying and solving real market problems. He talks about the importance of a strong founding thesis and continuous iteration and why he opted to build for operational complexity and enterprise integration from the start. Last but not least, he shares some of his big lessons on how he defined his ideal customers and what not to do when approaching those customers if you want to gain traction. Here's one of his quotes Early on, we overdid it. We would go, 'We are revolutionizing your pricing. And they go, 'Okay, why?' And we go, 'It's going to allow you to ship product faster because you're gonna have more pricing agility. We just weren't talking the same language as them. We just pulled it back, pulled it back, simplified the story, and now we meet them where they are. We go, 'Billing operations is a real pain point for you, isn't it? And they go, 'YES.' During this interview, you will learn four things: Griffins' 3 success factors in growing his business. How he's building trust with his ideal customers from the start. What he's doing differently to give development a headstart when it comes to building new products. Why he hired a data scientist from day one - and why you should possibly too.

  • #338 - Hadassah Backman, CEO of Guardoc Health - solving critical industry problems

    #338 - Hadassah Backman, CEO of Guardoc Health - solving critical industry problems
    2024/11/13
    This podcast interview focuses on the entrepreneurial journey to change the way healthcare nurses can work to improve patient safety. My guest is Hadassah Backman, CEO of Guardoc Health. Hadassah has nursing roots: She started her career as a registered nurse and has built hands-on experience in emergency room and hospice care. This clinical background gives her unique insights into the challenges faced by frontline healthcare workers. Besides that, she holds a master's degree in public health policy and management from Columbia University. At this intersection, the big idea for Guardoc was born - which she founded in July 2021 - in the middle of COVID-19. Guardoc is a clinical data integrity solution that uses artificial intelligence to address nursing challenges. Their mission: to prevent medical errors, reduce wasted nursing hours, and improve care for chronically ill older adults. And this inspired me, so I invited Hadassah to my podcast. We explore what's broken when it comes to supporting nurses in preventing medical errors. Hadassah shares her vision of how to solve it and how she bootstrapped her way to delivering a solution that nurses just kept talking about. She elaborates on some of her big lessons learned (and the resilience needed) in getting traction and attracting funding. Last but not least, she advises on building momentum through laser-sharp focus and smart product development decisions. Here's one of her quotes We have apps streaming to our phones. You can watch your kids on your phone remotely. You can open doors and close doors and lock people out. There are all these things - but we still haven't figured out how to help what, to me, is the most important workforce. Because they really deliver holistic care to patients so that they can provide the care that they were trained to do and that they want to do. And so that really compelled me to ask: why isn't there a solution that captures mistakes? During this interview, you will learn four things: Why taking a 'user-centric' approach is not enough to succeed in building a successful software business. How she started to deliver remarkable value without having built any product yet - and how that helped accelerate the journey. What she did differently to put a flywheel for growth in motion for her business - in a world that requires a high-touch GTM approach. How she's built a resilient mindset to navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship successfully.

    #337 - Dan Uyemura, CEO of Pushpress - on Vertical SaaS differentiation
    2024/11/06
    This podcast interview focuses on the entrepreneurial journey to build deep vertical business solutions that deliver 10x value for every 1x in price charged. My guest is Dan Uyemura, CEO of Pushpress. Dan has had an entrepreneurial spirit from a young age. He was a Dot-com era pioneer: During college, he founded Mixture.com, a platform that was ahead of its time and preceded social media giants like Myspace. After working in tech, including a stint at Myspace, he made a dramatic career pivot by opening his own CrossFit gym. He quickly got frustrated with the poor software options available for gym management. So in January 2012, he leveraged his tech background to create PushPress and rebel against manual paperwork and complicated, overpriced software. Their mission: to make gym management
 the easiest part of starting a fitness business. And this inspired me, and hence I invited Dan to my podcast. We explore his journey from MySpace coder to gym owner to software entrepreneur. Dan shares his insights on what it takes to create a competitive advantage that's hard to beat. He elaborates on empathy-driven support, value-based pricing, and the "layer cake" approach that makes his SaaS products invaluable. He emphasizes the importance of focusing on customer value over traditional SaaS metrics and shares innovative strategies to outmaneuver competitors. Last but not least, he shares his data-driven decision-making framework and lessons on team building. Here's one of his quotes "Money is an output. It's the result of energy spent somewhere else. So the problem is, a lot of people build those businesses around money. How do I make more money? How do I generate more money? How do I increase my top line? Or bottom line? The reality is that's an output, and you can never affect an output. You can only affect the input. And the input is the order of magnitude and the sheer volume of value you provide to customers. That's what you got to focus on." During this interview, you will learn four things: How he's tuning his product strategy to grow a highly defensible position against competitors. His framework for building conviction and speeding up decision-making in feature development How he overcame the balancing act of horizontal feature breadth with vertical depth improvements His approach to innovating pricing models to outmaneuver competitors and accelerate growth.
