Scaling Smart: Operational Excellence & Exit Readiness in African SaaS

​Many SaaS founders chase growth but neglect operational discipline. Chaos feels like progress — until it doesn’t. When processes aren’t predictable, founders burn out, teams stall, and investors lose confidence. Without clarity, even strong growth can’t scale — and exits stay out of reach.

​In this session, Anthony Ndolo, Founder of Smatbeba, shares hard-won lessons on achieving sustainable speed — growing while improving efficiency. He’ll unpack how operational excellence creates freedom, not bureaucracy, and how true exit-readiness starts long before an investor call or acquisition offer.

​Join this fireside-style conversation to learn how to:

• ​Build visibility, repeatability, and accountability into your operations.

• ​Focus on what truly drives customer value — and cut distractions.

• ​Prepare your business to be valuable and exit-ready at any time.

• ​Understand what investors and acquirers actually look for.

​Because excellence isn’t about perfection — it’s about predictability, freedom, and real leverage.
