🌵The greatest tech companies have gotten to where they are today because of the success of their customers.

We’re not shy to admit that investing heavily in long-term customer success might not be top of mind in the early innings of your go-to-market strategy, but once the ball starts to roll it’s for sure the value of your customer relationships that’ll turn you into a B2B SaaS unicorn 🦄

Alas, with a recession looming around the corner, we’re gearing up to help all B2B SaaS founders out there on how to improve customer value throughout the entire end-to-end customer journey and build a resilient growth engine in the midst of a stormy sea.

We've invited the best customer success people in town to share their best tactics and insights to help you fast forward: Søren Harbo Madsen, Director of Sales & Customer Success at Openli, former Customer Success Lead at Trustpilot will join forces with 25 CS Influencer 2022 Daphne Costa Lopes, Head of Customer Success at HubSpot, UK, and host of 'This is Growth! In short, this is the you don't want to miss.

Join us as we take on one of the biggest challenges in just 4 days - Wednesday October 19th at 9-10.00 am, online.

🪂 Back when the pandemic hit the charts we set out to help founders with the best tactics to reduce churn at our PSV Academy StartupTalk.

Now, two years later - as the word recession is starting to pick up, we’re back on the field, this time taking on growth for B2B SaaS companies in the midst of hardship.

As most startups are already busy checking the forecast and securing all loose items, it sure seems like the perfect time to talk about growth and resilience.

🌱 It’s no secret that SaaS companies utilizing a subscription model face greater risk of high churn rates and lost revenue. When setting out to build an exponential growth engine, it can be alluring to place all money on customer acquisition – and while there might be some truth to it (you won’t get anywhere without people in your shop) it’s far from the whole story. In fact, the sort of meaningful growth that’ll make the VCs go electric stems from a far less obvious area: Customer Success.

While unit economics and metrics might tell a good story to the investors, growth is all about making your customers roaring successful.

Join us August 25 at 9-10 am for a morning session where we get the experts to dish out the best customer success strategies and tactics to help founders weather the storm! 🌊

Hit the link right here:

Being customer obsessed should always be the first, second, and third priority for any B2B SaaS startup when packing for serious growth. As the word recession is starting to trend these days, we give you the top 5 customer success strategies to help accelerate long-term growth and resilience.

Many have tried to nail down the PSV tone of voice over the years. It’s proven to be quite tricky, though - some are even said to have gone mad in the attempt🤫

The secret? Our tone of voice is deeply personal and grants the writer ultimate freedom. Give it all of your wildest ideas, dig out the most obscure synonyms in the thesaurus, and go nuts. If that concept sparks a little (or big) fire in your tummy, keep reading.

We're looking for a student with a knack for wordsmithery and a big helping of marketing interest to join our Comms team as our new Marketing & Communications Assistant. A person who understands how to capture our tone of voice and harness its power for some seriously good storytelling. A word wizard, if you will🧙‍

Your main task will be to create well-written and inspiring content to engage the Danish startup community and to position PreSeed Ventures across different platforms and types of media, such as press releases, blog posts, email marketing, and SoMe.

We offer a steeper learning curve, a wider frame for trying out wacky ideas, and better coffee than most workplaces. If you’ve got a sharp pen and creative mind, we’d love to say hi!

💥 🏓 Like a rotating tennis ball machine we went back to the live stage for a heck of an evening at Talent Garden Rainmaking!

3 exceptional tech founders took to the stage giving a series of punchable and actionable talks to help founders-in-the-making hack the learning curve and make their way to the mighty product-market fit. Think less roundtable, more bone & flesh tactics at play 👊

A big thank you to all founders and friends for joining us 🙌 and to the ones that were bold enough to take the stage Jakob Knutzen, Mathias Hermansen, and Søren Halskov Nissen sharing the good, the bad, the mishaps, and everything in between, to give an insight to the secret sauce of what it takes to build a future-proof tech company.

In case you missed it, the recordings are up for grabs on our Academy site this very minute: https://utm.guru/ueEUt

🚨Remember Mathias Hermansen from GamerPay from our recent event? He certainly rock’n’rolled the stage to bits, and now he’s taking over Danish TV. Or, well, at least introducing everyone starting their day off with TV 2 to the topic of digital gaming assets and the related taxation flaws. We’re all for bringing this important debate of transparency into the mainstream newsfeed. Well done, guys!

🏸Big news from the ! Muninn and their partner NNIT won a tender to AI-based cyber security to protect the entire Danish public healthcare sector. ’s raison d’etre is to support and grow technology that can change the way we do things for the better. And with their future of protecting critical Danish infrastructure, Muninn is certainly living up to that. Congrats on doing a helluva good job!

🎨We’ve already been over what the recent conjunctures mean for the future of raising rounds. Over at Radiobotics they’re feeling it right now, and have decided to push their next round to a later time. That’s not necessarily a bad thing though: instead, they’ll be spending their resources on getting new products to market - a market that is hungry for innovation btw. It’s great to see the embrace the market in its current state and take the opportunities it's serving, even if they weren’t part of the original plan. Without sounding too much like a lecture, some people might benefit from taking notes here📝

🪴Everyone’s ramping up for the upcoming Folkemødet on Bornholm - and boy, is it gonna be a bash like no other! GP of , Helle Uth, will be debating how the Danish tech ecosystem can grow more female tech founders in the future. She’ll be joined by some absolute rocket launchers in the business: Le Gammeltoft, Rikke Hougaard Zeberg and Liva Echwald. It’s bound to be good stuff, and so is the rest of the program Dansk Industri - DI has prepared!
