SaaS Founder Stories: the hard truth about Building, Scaling & Exiting

SaaS Pizza Night with 25Friday & re:cap

Most founders dream of scaling their SaaS company and making a life-changing exit. But what does it really take? What do most people get wrong? Join this evening to hear from two founders who’ve been through it all: fast phases of growth, facing hurdles, growth pains, negotiations, tough decisions and the ultimate exit. 

What to expect

Han Kleppe, founder of Leadinfo – Built one of the fastest-growing bootstrapped SaaS companies in the Benelux, as a solo founder. From early traction to scaling operations, hiring, and making key strategic decisions; how did he navigate the different stages of growth? And what ultimately led him to sell to team.blue?

Ida Kuijken, Partner at Fortino – The investor’s perspective on what makes a SaaS business truly scalable. How do investors evaluate long-term potential? What separates the companies that plateau from those that break through? And when does an exit actually make sense?

Rutger Bremer, founder of Momice – Another SaaS founder story, breaking down the journey of building and growing a company from the ground up. We’ll focus on how to create a strong operational foundation—because a well-run business isn’t just easier to scale, it’s the key to sustainable success.

This night is for SaaS founders looking to sharpen their strategy, learn from those who’ve been there, and connect with like-minded SaaS founders. And yes, there will be pizza!
