Sastrify: how to hyperscale & have a lot of fun at the same time!

Sven Lackinger is the co-founder & CEO at Sastrify - a rapidly scaling SaaS venture who’ve raised $23m dollars from major VCs like HV Capital and FirstMark for their SaaS procurement solution.

 

We explored:

• Why 4 co-founders is too many - you're better off with 2 co-founders who then hire “experts” for the other c-suite roles
• The benefits of hiring world class talent anywhere in the world & how to build a completely remote team & culture
• Why Sastrify has launched so many virtual cultural initiatives like Friday Checkouts – where people thank a colleague for something they’ve done and share their weekend plans - and global online chess tournaments to build friendships across timezones and countries
• How Sastrify are creating a new product category to enable large enterprises to procure and operate their software
