from Bootstrapped : The Lighter Side - The Podcast For B2B SaaS Founders · host Lighter Capital - We Help Startups Grow

Rupert Mayer founded his first product company, IPfolio, in 2012. Before making a successful exit and launching a new chapter of his career as an angel investor nearly a decade later, Rupert experienced many ups and downs. As the "Chief of Everything" at IPfolio, he was always hustling. Rupert meticulously managed cash flow, got creative with non-dilutive funding, and learned voraciously from his customers and other SaaS founders. When he pivoted up-market at precisely the right time, the startup's growth took off. Rupert went on to raise his Series A, but the capital didn't quite produce the results he expected. Listen and learn from Rupert Mayer's entrepreneurial journey.
