saas.group is an acquirer and operator of SaaS businesses. Founded in 2017 by entrepreneurs with a bootstrapper mindest, we acquire and scale companies through a founder-friendly, transparent process - respecting each company’s culture while providing the operational support to help them thrive.
We focus on small to mid-sized SaaS businesses (typically $2M–$10M ARR) with strong products and loyal customer bases. Post-acquisition, we empower teams with centralized expertise, shared knowledge, and operational excellence, while preserving their unique identity. Since inception, saas.group has acquired 25+ companies across verticals like marketing, HR, developer tools, and eCommerce. We believe in sustainable growth (guided by the Rule of 40), building communities (such as saas.connect), and creating a long-term home where products and people can reach the next level.
As Co-CMO at saas.group, I co-lead the Central Marketing Team, which brings together disciplines many smaller SaaS brands cannot or do not want to fully build in-house. Our expertise spans SEO, Content, Affiliate Marketing, Data, PPC, Web Development, and Design. By centralizing these capabilities, we enable portfolio companies to access high-quality marketing services and benefit from shared best practices.
A key part of my role is ensuring knowledge transfer across the portfolio. By working with companies at similar stages, we accelerate growth and help them avoid repeating mistakes. I also guide portfolio company CEOs in all things marketing until they establish their own fully operating marketing team - whether by advising directly or supporting the recruitment of senior marketing leaders. Additionally, I build and nurture a community of marketers within saas.group and support our M&A team in marketing due diligence and brand positioning. This mix of operational excellence, community building, and strategic guidance enables us to scale SaaS businesses sustainably and create lasting value.
