In July of 2020, Joran Dirk Greef stumbled into a fundamental limitation in the general-purpose database design for transaction processing. This sent him on a path that ended with TigerBeetle, a redesigned distributed database for financial transactions that yielded three orders of magnitude faster OLTP performance over the usual (general-purpose) suspects. On this episode, Joran joins Jerod to explain how TigerBeetle got so fast, to defend its resilience and durability claims as a new market entrant, and to stake his claim at the intersection of open source and business. Oh, plus the age old question: Why Zig?

In this latest episode of the "Grow Your B2B SaaS Podcast," host Joran sits down with Pablo Asensio, founder of 8% Growth, to discuss how to master product-led growth (PLG) for SaaS companies. Pablo explains that PLG is a strategy that shifts away from traditional methods of relying on sales and marketing to acquire and retain customers. Instead, it positions the product itself as the main driver of growth. This approach allows users to see the product's value before committing financially, making it easier to grow revenue naturally. Key aspects of PLG include self-serve onboarding, viral loops, and in-product upsells. Successful companies like Slack, Dropbox, Calendly, and Miro have effectively used PLG to expand their user base.Key Timecodes(1:19) - Guest Introduction(1:32) - Defining PLG(2:50) - Key Elements of PLG(3:23) - When to Consider PLG(5:29) - Misconceptions About PLG(6:12) - Importance of Organizational Alignment(7:13) - Aligning Stakeholders(8:15) - Four-Step Framework for Alignment(10:37) - Viral Loops and PLG(12:52) - Moments to Ask for Referrals(14:53) - Common Mistakes in PLG(16:12) - Managing Expectations(17:29) - Misconceptions About Implementing PLG(19:06) - Tools and Frameworks for PLG(21:12) - Monetization Strategy(23:31) - Aligning Sales with PLG(25:25) - Best Practices for PLG Implementation(28:12) - Importance of Data(30:27) - When to Add a Sales Component(33:19) - Summarizing PLG Advice(33:54) - Advice for Growing SaaS to 10K MRR(35:29) - Advice for Scaling to 10 Million ARR(38:52) - Episode Summary(39:02) - Contact Information

'Na de gourmetscène hebben de makers van Winter vol liefde verdorie wéér een cruciale scène gemist' Na zijn veelbesproken Gordon-docusoap, ligt producent en misdaadverslaggever John van den Heuvel opnieuw onder vuur. Waarom leek het hem een goed idee om het voorwoord van Joran van der Sloots nieuwe boek te schrijven? Het podcastpanel vermoedt een sterk staaltje opportunisme. 'Hij meet met twee maten", aldus Angela de Jong. Uiteraard staat ook déze podcast deels in het teken van Winter vol liefde. Vooral de meest spraakmakende (schoon)moeder van Nederland, Monique uit Seefeld, blijft de tongen losmaken. Horen we haar nu zeggen dat de Friese Antine altijd haar 'favoriet' was? Dat staat toch in schril contrast met eerdere uitspraken over haar potentiële schoondochter? Het wakkert opnieuw de discussie aan over de authenticiteit van het populaire RTL-programma. En waarom miste de cameraploeg meer dan eens een cruciaal moment in het datingproces? Ook aan bod in deze podcast: wat ving Gudo allemaal op in de rechtbank van Lelystad waar voormalig WNL-presentatrice Margreet Spijker probeerde een rapport over grensoverschrijdend gedrag openbaar te krijgen? En tijd om het vergrootglas te leggen op het huidige Wie is de Mol?-seizoen. Gudo is zeer kritisch. Bovendien zegt hij dé hint te hebben gevonden naar de saboteur. Verder staan Tim de Wit en Jet de Nijs in Angela's Etalage, wordt er wederom gespeculeerd over de opvolger van Maarten van Rossem en komt er antwoord op de vraag of de Emmely de Wilt-fanclub-podcast nu eindelijk het levenslicht ziet nu Emmely de RadioRing heeft gewonnen. Luisteren dus! Naar de wekelijkse AD Media Podcast, waarin tv-columniste Angela de Jong, mediaverslaggever Gudo Tienhooven en presentator Manuel Venderbos alle hoofd-, rand-, en bijzaken bespreken op het gebied van radio en televisie.

Affiliate marketing is an invaluable strategy for B2B SaaS companies that want to expand their reach and increase sales. In this special episode, the host of this show Grow Your B2B SaaS Podcast, Joran Hofman, founder of Reditus, hosts himself to dissect the crucial topic of affiliate marketing.
