We just published the latest episode of The SaaS Podcast:

307: Mode: How 3 First-Time Founders Built an 8-Figure SaaS
In 2013, Benn and his co-founders Derek and Josh were working for the same company where they had built an internal tool to help them do their jobs.

They discovered that a lot of companies were building similar tools and figured that there might be an opportunity for them to launch a startup.

In the last 8 years, they've grown Mode into an 8-figure SaaS business, with over 150 employees, and have raised $81M in funding.

In this episode, I talk to Benn about:

How they got started and acquired early customers while overcoming the challenge of all three of them being first-time founders.
The struggles they faced with positioning a product that didn't fit well into any existing product categories, and often confused customers.
How the founders learned to overcome 'analysis paralysis' and make faster decisions without continuously second-guessing themselves.
How they use content marketing to attract new customers and create engaging and shareable content for a topic that's pretty dry.
And we talk about lessons Benn has learned about the best ways for founders to stay motivated so they can get through the hard times.

I hope you enjoy it.
