How Kevin Hu Navigated Metaplane's Journey from Pivot to Series A and Beyond

In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is
joined by Kevin Hu, Co-Founder & CEO at Metaplane, who shares
how they navigated Metaplane's journey from pivot to Series A and
beyond. "Most of us come from tens of thousands of years of
subsistence farmers and we're one of the first generations that has
the opportunity to build something that can have a large impact
with software and capitals leveraged. And when it comes to the CEO
job, one can hope that the problems never stop. When the problems
stop, I think that's when growth stops. The best case scenario is
when the problems are new problems all the time and it doesn't feel
like Groundhog Day." Kevin shares: • The reasons that drove
Metaplane to pivot (twice!) • The importance of attracting strong
leaders and building a repeatable sales process as a company grows
• His approach to decision-making and prioritisation; from the way
he collects information to committing to decisions • Why being
upfront about expectations and offering upside potential is crucial
to recruiting top talent • Metaplane's unique onboarding process
where new hires "ship something" on day one • Overcoming market
headwinds through a product-led approach and land-and-expand
strategy and more!       Check out the other ways
