In this episode of SaaS Founder Stories, I talk with Mohit Garg, co-founder and CEO of Oloid, about what actually changes once you find product-market fit. Hint: it’s not the mission — it’s the team.
Oloid’s early team was driven by belief. But after PMF and a major capital raise, the company needed structure, operators, and process — and that meant rethinking everything from org design to how you communicate with the earliest believers.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
→ Product-market fit forces a shift from mission to scale
→ Early team members won’t always grow with the company
→ Founders must plan the post-funding team map before the raise
→ Operators care about systems, comp, and performance — not just vision
→ The difference between culture and comfort is clarity
SOUND BITES
→ "Your first team joins for belief. Your next team joins to scale."
→ "You’re not hiring founders anymore — you’re hiring specialists."
→ "Transitions fail when people feel blindsided. Talk early."
→ "You can’t scale the company and keep everything exactly the same."
If you’re heading into growth or navigating your first big hires post-funding, this one’s for you. Subscribe to SaaS Founder Stories wherever you listen.
