In our latest #SaaSFromScratch session, we had the privilege of hosting Sashi Narahari, Founder of HighRadius, who shared his remarkable journey of building a $3.1 billion global fintech powerhouse with unconventional wisdom. Here are the transformative insights: > At least one founder must master sales rather than outsourcing this critical function—product development is straightforward, but go-to-market strategy requires constant evolution > With enterprises allocating just 2% of revenue to IT across all priorities, quantifiable ROI is essential to win budget battles > Success abroad demands deep market understanding; one founder should relocate to the US and authentically integrate into the culture > Companies stall at this threshold when product strategy remains stagnant—continuous evolution and market expansion are essential > If replacing "AI" with "nail" in your pitch breaks the logic, rethink your approach—customers and investors see through empty claims Swipe through to discover how Sashi transformed these principles into building sophisticated financial software despite no finance background, bootstrapping for 11 years, and now powering the offices of CFOs at over 1000 leading companies worldwide.
