This presentation will teach you the things that went well, and the things that did not go well in our journey to move our 20 people Drupal agency from a service company (bill by the hour) to a product SaaS company (bill per product, per month) called Open Social.

We will talk about funding your product, building a product, how to do marketing, sales and business development and how to grow internationally. We hope to discuss some questions as how to work with open-source and SaaS and does it help us or limit us competing with proprietary software vendors. 

If you are thinking about building a product on Drupal or building a SaaS company, this is your session!
