With two decades of SaaS leadership across brands like Pipedrive and Unbounce, Oriola addresses a tough reality: 90% of startups fail.

In the episode, he offers a proven roadmap to scale smarter, from aligning product-led growth (PLG) with sales, to applying AI where it drives measurable results.

"Every part of your business should have an AI strategy — support, marketing, product, sales," Oriola says. "But always test and validate impact before scaling."

According to Oriola, scaling successfully requires balancing product-led growth with sales, leveraging AI across the business, and tracking metrics that truly matter.

Key Takeaways from the episode Include:

  • Focus Beats Expansion: Avoid spreading resources too thin before achieving product-market fit.
  • Product-Led Growth Fuels Sales: PLG and direct sales work together to capture both trial users and enterprise opportunities.
  • AI Across the Business: Integrate AI into support, marketing, product, and sales, while validating impact through testing.
  • Metrics Matter Most: Monitor LTV:CAC ratios carefully to ensure sustainable growth.
  • Email Isn't Dead: Email remains a highly effective tool for conversions, especially at the bottom of the funnel.
