Explore leadership strategies for scaling a high-growth open source SaaS company in this 32-minute sponsored conference session from the Linux Foundation. Learn from Lovisa Johansson and Magnus Landerblom of 84Codes as they share practical insights from building LavinMQ, drawing on their experience with CloudAMQP, recognized as one of Europe's fastest-growing companies. Discover how to navigate the complexities of software license changes while maintaining culture, autonomy, and technical excellence in a remote-first, flat-structured organization. Examine the decision-making process behind choosing open source for product development and understand how lean teams, shared ownership, and trust drive organizational success. Gain practical knowledge on building momentum with small, high-performing teams rather than rapid hiring, creating environments that foster experimentation and community contribution without heavy hierarchies, and maintaining focus and alignment as revenue and product complexity scale within an open-source ecosystem.
