RS332: Competing with Stripe and Hubspot (ft. Geoff Roberts)
Hey everyone! Just had an awesome chat with Geoff Roberts from Outseta (outseta.com). They're doing something pretty wild - basically smashing together Stripe and HubSpot into one platform for subscription businesses. How cool is that?
Quick Hits:- Outseta is an all-in-one platform handling payments, auth, CRM, email, and help desk- They've got this unique setup where everyone makes $210k/year (pro-rated) and can work 1-5 days a week- Took them 4 years to really nail the product (hey, good things take time!)
Best Parts of the Convo:- Jeff got real about marketing struggles (who hasn't been there?)- Turns out ChatGPT is actually sending them customers now - wild!- We had a great debate about whether SaaS is still the golden ticket (spoiler: it's way more competitive now)- Talked about why sometimes it's better to stick with a "pretty good" business than chase the next unicorn
Where They're Headed:- Aiming for $10M in revenue with a lean team of about 20 people- Shifting from being super product-focused to really pushing growth- Geoff's been at it for 8 years and plans to keep going for 7 more
Real talk: This episode is perfect if you're building a SaaS company or thinking about bundling multiple tools together. Geoff drops some serious knowledge about what it's actually like in the trenches.
