vladimirpoloon The Fastest Growing SaaS Companies of 2018

You are right, I used the wrong word. It shows the persons who work in each company (comparing to other lists, where only the logo of the company is being shown).

vladimirpoloon The Fastest Growing SaaS Companies of 2018

Hi Paul, I'm CEO of the company which has created this list. As you might notice, it is voting for the most popular SaaS company among the Fastest Growing. How we found which companies are the Fastest Growing? First, we took a list of Nathan Latka, who hosts on the most popular SaaS podcast and has a huge database of SaaS companies with their metrics. Second, we took a list of the companies that have shown massive growth on Linkedin in 2018. And we also added the data provided by Similarweb. It sounds very simple, but it took more than a week of our team just to make this list of TOP50 companies the most accurate way. Now we welcome everybody to vote for the companies from this list. Hope that helps. Vlad

You are right! That was one of the reasons we've launched this list — we wanted to show how different are the personalities in these SaaS product teams.

vladimirpoloon 7 reasons you need to stop making whitepapers

I totally agree with you. That's the reason we started to look for another way to deliver interesting and engaging content. And found academies.

vladimirpoloon Ask HN: How would you take this business to the next level?

I was looking for a technical cofounder in 2016.

1. I created a Google Spreadsheet with a description of my idea and my goal was to inspire readers of this document.

2. Then I made a Facebook post where I shared this document. I received few dozens of likes/shares from my friends.

3. After that, I used Linkedin Premium (it is free for 30 days) to find developers in my region. I asked them if they are considering new job offers. And if they answer was yes, I shared a link to my Facebook post.

They came to my page and see likes and shares (social proof). Then they read the document and if the idea was interesting for them, we scheduled a skype call.

That's how I found the CTO for AcademyOcean.com : )
