SaaStr’s Poya Osgouei has a great Uncharted podcast that does a deeper dive with many SaaS execs.
Up this week is are Patrick Campbell & Peter Zotto and they and Poya discuss why they decided to sell to Paddle for $200 Million and share some of the wisdom they have learned over the last 10+ years bootstrapping ProfitWell.
They discuss:
- How Patrick knew Peter was the person he wanted to work with for a lifetime
- What Peter admires about Patrick as his business partner/CEO
- Why they think trust and alignment was foundational in their relationship
- The not so obvious things they wish people would know about scaling a bootstrapped company
- And the one piece of advice they would give their younger self prior to launching ProfitWell
The full discussion on bootstrapping and when to exit — and to whom — here:
