How Lempire Scaled from $10M to $23M ARR in Two Years, Bootstrapped

The SaaS Revolution Show

In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is joined by founder & CEO lempire and SaaStock 2024 speaker, Guillaume Moubeche, as he shares how Lempire scaled from $10M to $23M ARR in two years (bootstrapped!). "I was not ambitious enough, for me my ambition was to get a salary so I could help my girlfriend at the time paying the rent. Eventually, having someone, you know, who sees things 10 to 20x bigger for yourself than you, is actually amazing and I think that was the biggest helper that basically forced me to think of things at a way bigger and larger scale." He shares: - Why achieving PMF doesn't mean everlasting success - Understanding the 'S curve' and its implications on a business - How his upbringing encouraged the bootstrapped mindset - If de-risking and ambition go hand in hand - The ultimate founder hack (bank loans up to 7x of your EBITDA) - Fostering motivation within the team and more!Check out the other ways SaaStock is serving SaaS founders 🇺🇸 SaaStock USA 2025: 13-15 May 2025 | Austin, Texas.
