Mike Potter: The growth hypothesis
Manage episode 306675419 series 2995972
In today’s episode, Allan and Lauren talk to Mike Potter, co-founder and CEO of Ottawa-based SaaS company, Rewind. Rewind is a back-up service for SaaS applications to copy critical and important business data into the cloud. Think of it as insurance for your data!
What started as an itch to start a side project evolved into a hypothesis: the churn rate on a backup product would be low. Mike dives into the evolution of Rewind—how it started and where it’s going—and their explosive growth on the heels of a combined $80M USD in Series A and Series B funding.
And, the coveted question that we ask every guest: What does succeed with data mean to you?
