From 10 to 100... What Breaks and How to Fix It

Scaling your SaaS from 10 to 100 employees feels like steering a speedboat that’s morphing into an aircraft carrier. Let’s ensure you don’t capsize in the chaos.

TL;DR

  • Understand common scaling pitfalls and their solutions.
  • Learn how to maintain clarity and accountability as you grow.
  • Discover how Momentum can simplify your scaling journey.

Why It Matters

In the scaling phase, every SaaS founder faces the triple challenge of increasing complexity, multiplying communication channels, and the need for rapid decision-making. According to McKinsey, companies that effectively manage scaling grow revenue 30% faster than their peers. The stakes couldn't be higher.

Big Ideas

Idea 1 — Clarity in Chaos

As your team grows, the clarity of who does what often blurs. Implement systems that auto-update and reflect current responsibilities and project statuses. This transparency reduces the fog of war that thickens with scaling.

Idea 2 — Communication Without Clutter

Scaling up usually means more meetings and flooded inboxes. Opt for tools that aggregate communications and highlight what’s urgent. It’s like shifting from shouting in a bazaar to a focused conversation in a quiet room.

Idea 3 — Decision Speedboats

Quick, decisive action separates the best from the rest. Equip your leaders with real-time dashboards that show trends and risks, turning them into speedboats zipping around obstacles, not titanic ships slowly turning.

Momentum Angle

Momentum acts like your operational radar, picking up signals from your existing tools and translating them into clear, actionable insights. It’s about seeing everything and sweating nothing.

Next Steps

  1. Review your current tool stack and identify what information is missing.
  2. Evaluate how decisions are currently made and where delays occur.
  3. Simplify communication by centralizing updates and responsibilities.
  4. Set up a demo with Momentum to see how it can integrate with your tools.
  5. Start with Momentum’s Growth plan to maximize value for money.
