One of the great things about starting new initiatives is that you get to architect the structure of your business from scratch. Here's how we're thinking about ScreenCloud, and trying to make it our most effective (read: happiest) environment yet.

In today’s episode, Mark and David are joined by Dr Carlos Saba, Co-Founder of The Happy Startup School. They discuss the origin of The Happy Startup School and what building a business without stress can look like.

What counts as a side project? And how do you know when it’s commercially viable to make it your main project?

What are the key measures that are widely accepted as being good in SaaS and how are we at ScreenCloud measuring up against them at this stage in our development?

We aspire to make ScreenCloud an awesome and inclusive place to work. Here are some of the things we’ve already put into place and what we think we could do better.

We’re a company made up of international remote teams. Here’s what we learned from our first offsite get-together.

It was Christmas 2013. I was at home, but talking to my co-founders, Luke and Mark on Skype. We’d started our digital agency, Codegent, in early 2004 and now, almost 10 years later, we were trying to work out what to do next.

With the ScreenCloud team being distributed across four continents, we don’t get to hang out much outside of Slack. That’s why, once a year, we make the effort to get some facetime with the whole team at ScreenCloud Together, our company offsite. Check out what we got up to in Thailand in 2019.

Why alignment of the Founders’ values matters, even if they don’t always agree on everything.

SaaS Quick Ratio is a brilliant and easy benchmark that shows if your business is running efficiently. But, it has to be looked at in the context of customer behaviour and the way your analytics calculate a churn.

We all want our companies to be places that give people the freedom to work when and how they want to. But you still need to keep a close watch over your staff. Or do you?
