Lessons in Scaling Weavr to 100+ People in 3 Years

The SaaS Revolution Show

In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show, our host Alex Theuma is joined by Alex Mifsud, co-founder & CEO at Weavr, who shares his lessons in scaling Weavr to 100+ people in 3 years. "Try to imagine what the ideal, sort of, embedded finance equation of skills and capabilities would be for B2B SaaS businesses not to have to worry about all the complexities of financial services. We work backwards from that. We specifically identified skills that we need - it's like building a football team, you can't just have a great goalie, you've got to have the scorer, you've got to have the midfield players, and you're curating a lot of that. And yet, you also have to make them work as a team." Alex shares: - His role setting up the Malta Internet foundation in the early days of the internet - How Ixaris used the €80B grant from EU Horizon Program to build what is now called Embedded Finance - Why Weavr is being frugal with how they deploy their $50 million worth of capital (majority of which is still in the business) - Delivering success with a smaller team = higher engagement x less communication overheads - How Weavr's building performance frameworks that serve a higher purpose and more! --- Check out the other ways SaaStock is serving SaaS founders - SaaStock Dublin 2024: The largest concentration of SaaS decision makers in one place for three days of networking, connecting, and learning all things SaaS (https://www.saastock.com/saastock-2024/) - SaaStock Founder Membership: A private members group of B2B SaaS founders between $100K - $10M ARR who are committed to growth and helping others (https://www.saastock.com/founder-membership/) - SaaStock Local: Monthly meet-ups in cities all around the world, bringing together SaaS enthusiasts and experts to discuss the most pressing topics in SaaS (https://local.saastock.com/homeCheck out the other ways SaaStock is serving SaaS founders 🇺🇸 SaaStock USA 2025: 13-15 May 2025 | Austin, Texas.
