Growing it globally is another conversation. \u200bEveryone talks about building globally from CEE. Few talk about what it actually takes when you’re doing it from this region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u200bThis is the first SaaStanak meetup in Banja Luka, and we’re kicking it off with a hard question: how do you build and scale a SaaS from here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u200bWe’ll hear from three speakers with different perspectives, then we’ll network \ud83c\udf7b<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u200bAndrew Davies<\/a><\/strong>\u2013 CIO at Paddle, a payments infrastructure platform that has processed billions in revenue for over 5,000 software companies worldwide and raised $295M to date.

Dealion is focused on P2P problem solving, mentorship, and strategic partnerships, especially to help bridge Western and Western Balkan markets.
