Smartlead x Pump: Scaling Without Scaling Headcount

Smartlead and Pump are bringing together founders and operators who have actually scaled sales, infra, and support without ballooning headcount, for a candid roundtable at Pump's SF office.

No stage, no script. Just an open conversation on what to automate first, what is still worth a human, and what fast-growing SaaS startups get wrong about scaling lean.

Stick around after for Q&A, good food, and good conversation.

On the panel:

• Vaibhav, Founder, Smartlead

• Spandana, Founder, Pump

• Yasser, CEO, Chatbase

• Caroline Z, Knowtex

• Michael Buckwald, COO, Pump.co (previously co-founded Leap Motion)

The details:
