Next year, Lightspeed Commerce will exit its teenage years and turn 20. What does that maturity mean? For me, it’s all about shifting from simply a growth mindset to one of profitability. I sat down with Gus Papageorgiou, our Head of Investor Relations and host of the Inside Lightspeed podcast, to discuss this cultural shift, where we’re heading, and how my role as CEO will guide this moving forward. When Lightspeed first started, we were all about seizing opportunities — whether it was moving to the cloud early on, expanding into new markets, or launching payments. These bold moves have driven us to where we are today. Now, as we approach this new chapter, we're putting an emphasis on: - Doubling down on areas where we can truly excel and deliver the most value to our customers. - Making profitability our new North Star and ensuring that every move strengthens our foundation. - Staying true to our core mission: helping SMBs thrive. But now, we’re doing it with a sharper focus on long-term success. Had a great time reflecting on Lightspeed’s past, as well as discussing our vision for the future.

The ways financial advisors support others in building wealth in Canada has many layers in 2024: • More financial products than ever with increasingly sophisticated client needs • Additional activity requirements – the management of phone calls, emails, and digital documents including tax season, annual KYC requirements, and more • The need for trust and relationships, more than ever, when clients are making progressively economically complex decisions This is why Maximizer Financial Advisor Edition was built - excited for this one!

This Canadian start up raised $2.5 million in funding by launching an app with us using Bubble (full Case Study in the comments) The Problem: - more than half of all SMB accounts payable are completed manually - current technology is obtuse and requires accounting/bookkeeping expertise to use effectively The Solution: - simplify all language on platform "Accounts Payable" becomes "Pay Your Bills" - remove clutter, nothing should ever be more than 3 clicks away - launch using no-code, this allows us to get into the market in a matter of weeks, heavily reducing the upfront investment needed to launch an app Results: - hundreds of sign ups for the alpha version - thousands more added to the waitlist - 2.5 million raised in Seed Round

John Wiltshire CM, CEO Canadian Marketing Association, emphasizes that the #bestCMOs are more than just strategists; they're leaders who embrace community, innovation, and results. Great CMOs lean on a strong network—knowing when to collaborate, prioritize innovation, and challenge norms to stay ahead of the curve. They're also deeply invested in long-term value, making sure that every dollar spent speaks to the company’s bigger picture. Ultimately, it’s these qualities that drive real business results, and grow as true business builders.

SAAS NORTH Conference is one of the best Canadian SaaS conferences, and each year, I look forward to attending and connecting with the top thought leaders investing in great companies, building great ecosystems, and creating the success of the tech community in Canada. This year, Sage is proud to host the Executive Lunch on Thursday, November 14, in Ottawa. If you are interested in attending, please RSVP, if you have not registered for the conference and would like to attend, please direct message me. Here is our agenda for our discussion, we already have an amazing group that will be working together on the best ways to navigate the future: In today’s dynamic SaaS landscape, the role of finance has evolved into a strategic partner essential for driving both growth and profitability. This session brings together Canada’s top SaaS finance leaders for a discussion on communicating with investors, forecasting the future with peer CxOs, and how to build a great team. We will delve into finance’s expanded role in forecasting, investment decision-making, and managing the delicate balance between scaling and profitability. SaaS leaders have shifted away from a “grow-at-all-costs” mentality toward a focus on sustainable, efficient growth. This luncheon promises valuable insights on how early adoption of finance technologies—leveraging data-driven decision-making, optimizing revenue strategies, and enhancing cross-departmental collaboration—serves as a competitive advantage, empowering leadership teams to make impactful decisions and ensure durable, scalable growth.        Thank you David Tyldesley L-SPARK Startup Accelerator 🇨🇦 BetaKit Fellow - AI Meeting Note Taker Staircase Ventures FounderFuel Graphite Ventures Pender Ventures Mistral Ventures Startup TNT Cameal Soverall, CMM Melissa McQueen, MBA ERIC SLEETH Thomas Meyer Janu Debalathas and many others for organizing a world-class conference                         https://lnkd.in/g2m4T7vj
