In this episode of SaaS Backwards, Volition Capital Vice President Melanie Nabar joins host Ken Lempit to explore growth equity as a founder-aligned alternative to traditional venture or private equity for scaling SaaS businesses.
Melanie breaks down when growth equity is the right fit, how it enables founders to maintain control while accelerating growth, and the common scale-up mistakes that quietly slow momentum after funding. The conversation also examines how AI is reshaping go-to-market efficiency in B2B SaaS—and what founders, CMOs, and CROs should be thinking about as they build teams and systems for the next phase of growth.
It’s a practical listen for leaders navigating SaaS funding strategy, hiring decisions, and the transition from early traction to durable scale.
