Hi! 👋 Thank you for the visit. I’m very excited to have you here. My name is Victoria, and I’m the mind behind SaaS Minds (pun intended). My mission is to reverse engineer SaaS growth practices and share them with SaaS founders, managers, and professionals, ensuring they’re well equipped to increase their company’s $ARR.
I spend a big part of my time analyzing different SaaS companies, reverse engineering their growth practices, frameworks, and strategies. Subsequently, I summarize my analysis into brief, easy-to-read reports to help you identify new growth opportunities.
My mission is to build the go-to SaaS Growth Practices Library, packed with actionable insights, powerful examples, and unique ideas. To run SaaS Minds, I’m combining a specific set of skills & knowledge I’ve acquired during the years:
>> SaaS experience (+5 years working with SaaS brands)
>> Content creation (+5 years as a freelance writer)
>> Interviewing & Podcasting (Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism)
>> Content design (learning Webflow by myself)
>> Digital marketing (learning by doing & experimenting)
>> Business Management (running a registered business)
