Transitioning from an exit to your next SaaS with Laura Roeder (Paperbell)
In today’s episode, I chatted with Laura Roeder, the founder of, Paperbell. She recently exited from her previous SaaS business, Edgar, so it was a good chance to compare notes about both of our recent exits and transitions from one business into the next. It's a good one!
“As the business owner, you're always responsible for it. Even if you have a team running it, if somebody quits, you still have to dive in and replace them. You know if something goes wrong, even if no one's ever calling you, the responsibility of the business ultimately lands on you.” - Laura Roeder
