How to scale startups to $10M USD without investment
The original idea for this talk was “How to create profitable companies by maximizing the #bootstrap”, but thanks to a magical move by my colleague Cristian Mendivelso H, I now have this new challenge on my agenda. So, with great enthusiasm, I share with you the first draft and some notes I have put together for the conference. Here are some key points:

SquadS Ventures' thesis and the story of emBlue.

The format of the talk: a reflective QA.

The subscription model in SaaS businesses.

Let’s break these points down so you can better understand what it’s all about and how you can apply these concepts to your own startups.

SquadS Ventures' thesis and the story of emBlue
At SquadS Ventures we are executing the creation of 20 B2B bootstrap SaaS manufacturing email list companies with a goal of 1M in #ARR. This title change is perfect for me to tell the genesis, history and present of emBlue, a Customer Engagement company that I co-founded years ago with the great Daniel Soldan.

emBlue was born with the idea of ​​helping companies improve their relationship with customers through automated marketing tools. Over time, we managed to scale the company without the need for external investment, focusing on maximizing the bootstrap and reinvesting profits in business growth.

The format of the talk: a reflective QA
I imagine this talk as a kind of reflective QA; a compendium of questions I have asked colleagues, others that have been asked to me, answers I have found in different corners… and many others that I am still looking for.
