In this episode, Dean Curtis, CEO of Ingage, shares how he shut down a revenue-generating agency serving Fortune 500 clients to bet everything on SaaS - before finding product-market fit. From a near-collapse in the boardroom to the client that changed it all, Dean unpacks how conviction, clarity, and ruthless product focus turned Ingage into an $8M business.
