Turn Your eComm Data Into Pure Profit | Adam Callinan
Manage episode 481350337 series 3449675
#390 If you've ever wondered how a SaaS business gets off the ground — or how math and spreadsheets can evolve into a powerful, profit-driving platform — this episode is for you! Host Brien Gearin sits down with Adam Callinan, founder of Pentane and host of the Growth Mavericks podcast, who shares his journey from building a multi-million dollar beverage accessory company (that landed a deal on Shark Tank) to launching a SaaS platform that helps consumer brands and service businesses optimize their profitability. Adam reveals how he scaled his first business to $8 million in revenue without employees or investors, the painful realities of running a startup, and how the operational tools he built for himself eventually became Pentane. You'll learn why he’s cautious about AI, how Pentane gives clear, prescriptive financial recommendations, and why even non-sexy, service-based businesses deserve world-class tools to make smarter decisions!
What we discuss with Adam:
+ From coolie cups to software
+ Scaling to $8M with no employees
+ Behind-the-scenes of Shark Tank
+ Solving problems with spreadsheets
+ Why most SaaS is built backwards
+ Math > AI for financial clarity
+ How Pentane guides business decisions
+ Real-world use cases for Pentane
+ Helping service businesses with numbers
+ Building lean, profitable companies
