On this week’s episode of The SaaS Revolution Show we take you to the SaaStock Paris stage where Rachel Delacour, VP Startups at Zendesk talks with Marie-Hortense Varin, Principal at Partech Ventures, Samantha Jerusalmy, Partner at Elaia and Evgenia Plotnikova, Principal at Dawn Capital about what it takes to become a billion-dollar company and what’s the role of the VC in this beyond funding the journey. With many promising companies coming out of Europe, there are important things to keep in mind on the road to scaling successfully, which Samantha, Marie-Hortense and Evgenia have picked and share on the panel. Listen on to hear: While there is no science to becoming a unicorn, there are patterns. What are they? What are the signs a company has unicorn potential? What is the role of the VC in helping a company grow to a billion dollar? As Marie-Hortense mentiones in the end, if your VC isn’t helping you hire your SVP, you should get another VC partner.
