In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is
joined by Matthijs Welle, CEO at Mews, who shares his lessons
building Mews to unicorn status and $100M ARR. "Recognise when
we've got a challenge and address it. And I surround myself with
phenomenal people, I'm not afraid of hiring people that are smarter
than me around me, because I'm not always the smartest person. I
have more context than anyone else, but these people lift me, and I
think the best managers do that - they just find phenomenal talent
and then trust that they are not going to be fighting, but showing
up for the job and lifting you for the manager that you are."
Matthijs shares: - Mews' founding story - from frustrations with a
big marble block to building the next generation infrastructure
system for hotels - The company's growth path (including 40 new
hires MoM!) - From eight acquisitions to receiving $110M on top of
raising a round - the pivotal moments speed and drive overlapped
with opportunity - The ONE role that helped get them to the $10M
ARR mark - Why someone giving them sh*t was a 'wake up call' to
professionalise the business - When to pull away from
entrepreneurial tendencies (including the micromanagement trap...)
plus the best hotel he's *ever* stayed in and how much they had to
offer a Maine restaurant for the Mews.com domain
