Have you ever wondered ?Are my developers making the right choices?" or are you a non-developer looking to manage a successful SaaS company? Join our Masterclass where we will explore the challenges and opportunities that come with managing a SaaS company when you don't have a technical background.?

Managing a SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) company can be challenging, even if you are a developer, but if you are not a developer it can add some unique challenges to the mix. Building a SaaS is not simple, and the tension between the business (sales, marketing, customers) on the one hand and the technical team that has to build everything on the other, is sometimes quite spicy.

The business wants functionality as quickly as possible, while developers are
often very deep in their code and worry about the stability of the solution.?Don?t lose valuable go-to-market time... and funds?
