SaaS Scale-up

A SaaS company that has achieved product-market fit and is now scaling go-to-market, typically between Series A and Series D.

A SaaS Scale-up is a software-as-a-service company that has demonstrated product-market fit and is now investing primarily in scaling its go-to-market function. Most are post-Series A and pre-IPO, hiring between 5 and 50 roles a year, with a mix of GTM, product and leadership hires. This stage band is the natural fit for subscription headhunting models.
