In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is joined by Abakar Saidov, CEO at Beamery, who shares his success story from Wall Street-er to tech unicorn.

"A lot of entrepreneurs actually start businesses out of necessity. And necessity comes from two parts, either you have to do it because you have no other option, or you feel like you have to do it because you want the idea to exist so much. And usually I feel like if those are not your two reasons, one is like you can't imagine a world without this idea or you just have no choice. You're probably not going to make it through the the grind."

Abakar shares:
• On a mission to create equal access to work opportunities: The founding story of Beamery
• Why customer experience is a key differentiator (and one of the reasons they've achieved such high NPS scores for implementations in an industry where low scores are common)
• The top two qualities investors look for in founders
• How evolving founder perspectives and motivations have shaped the company's growth
• What he does to maintain energy after 10+ years as CEO
• Why his ongoing process of growth and development is centred around Andy Grove's concept of the Competence Frontier
