Everything that Breaks on the Way to $1B ARR with @mailchimp Co-Founder Ben Chestnut

Join Mailchimp Co-Founder Ben Chestnut and SaaStr CEO Jason Lemkin in a follow-up to their popular fireside chat held during SaaStr @ Home 2020. Ben and Jason will chat about the highlights–and the challenges–of scaling a company like Mailchimp to $1B ARR. Ben will discuss his experience building Mailchimp from a side hustle through to its acquisition in 2021 by Intuit for $12B, and share tips for other founders looking to follow that path for their own SaaS startups. Jason and Ben will also talk about Ben’s recently-announced transition from CEO to a founder-advisor role, Mailchimp’s future, and his plans for his own next steps.

Love how Ben talks in simple words and seems to hate marketing buzz words - I think that connects with customers.

It was a beautiful intro and well crafted.

25:20 “what’s ICP?” Fascinating that he either never learned this one, or decided to clarify what it meant to the audience.

The interviewer talked way too much. Ben seems great. Would love to hear more from him.
