How Building a Mission Driven Company Helped Oyster HR Scale to Become a SaaS Unicorn

In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is joined by Tony Jamous, Founder & CEO at Oyster HR, who shares how building Oyster HR as a mission driven company helped them scale to SaaS unicorn-dome.

"It enabled me to also be detached from the outcome. So no matter what happens, we miss a quarter or somebody quits, then you're not reactive to that. Instead, you remain always centred on your goals, on your values, on your principles and more in an acceptance mode. This journey of building businesses, it's, it's highs and lows. So how can you remain yourself in a mode of clarity, stability, no matter the highs and the lows?"

Tony shares:
• Hyper growth in the early days during Covid: From achieving product market fit without having a full platform to going from zero to a billion in market cap in two years
• Maintaining a mission driven culture: Why instilling meaning and importance to the work employees do you is the backbone of a successful mission driven organisation
• Reducing headcount costs doesn't necessarily mean laying people off - it should be a strategic shift rather than a financial exercise
• How he reprogrammed his nervous system to become a better leader and be less reactive
• Behaviour is an equation that has two variables: who the people are and the environment they're in ( ...and the influence leaders have on them)
