Selling A SaaS Then Starting An Agency With Dave Schneider, CEO at Shortlist
February 3, 2021
In this episode, Tom is joined by Dave Schneider, CEO at Shortlist. They discuss Dave's previous bootstrapped SaaS business: Ninja Outreach, how they grew that, sold it and then why Dave decided to start an agency.
Approximately four years ago, I spent 6 hours detailing how we bootstrapped the build of our software business: Virtual Valley.
I then published this onto the blog of an up and coming influencer marketing/outreach tool: Ninja Outreach.
Ninja Outreach were a few steps ahead of us:
- They had significant MRR
- A small team
- An awesome CEO
That CEO was Dave Schneider.
Dave went on to grow Ninja Outreach and ultimately sell it.
I wanted to bring Dave onto the show to understand:
- How he built Ninja Outreach
- Why he sold Ninja Outreach
- And why he transitioned into starting an agency
Take a listen... and let me know if I achieved these things!
Keep growing,
Tom - SaaS Marketer
