Powering High-Growth SaaS Companies From Seed to Stock Ticker

Why executive sponsorship, a Romania center of excellence, and a total-experience mindset let founders scale high growth SaaS companies
When you’re chasing hyper-growth, every dollar -and every interaction - matters. Founders need the same world-class customer experience (CX) as the unicorns they compete with—without hiring armies of costly engineers or standing-up global operations. That’s where CGS comes in.
Here’s a detailed guide on how BPO from CGS Inc can transform high-growth SaaS companies into IPO ready businesses, and beyond, using one of our past clients as an example. Download our full case study to see how we power high-growth SaaS companies.
1. Start small, think big
CGS Inc first met a now-public identity-management provider when the company had fewer than 200 employees and a Series C war chest. They needed 12 B2B support engineers who could hold their own with CIO-level customers. We spun up an elite team in Bucharest – chosen for it’s timezone thatoverlaps with U.S. working times, while giving access to tap Romania’s 180,000-strong STEM talent pool.
2. Scale the whole customer journey, not just the queue
As the platform’s user base exploded, so did the breadth of work CGS shouldered. We grew with our client partner, from the pivotal role in technical support to training & certification, back-office accounts receivable, renewals, and high-touch technical account management. Housing all functions on the same Romanian campus created a 360° view of every end customer and turbo-charged knowledge sharing.
This is a core touchpoint of our Total Experience approach to support high-growth SaaS companies.
3. Executive sponsorship: CGS puts “Skin in the Game”
At CGS, every early-stage engagement is assigned a C-level sponsor, often our Senior Vice President of Customer Success, who treats the relationship like an internal investment round, not a vendor contract.
- Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) mirror VC board meetings, north-star metrics, capital-efficiency scorecards, and 72-hour escalation paths straight to CGS leadership.
- Bonuses & promotions for CGS leaders are pegged to client ARR and NRR, ensuring shared upside.
- Founders gain a strategic ally who speaks the language of burn-rate, runway, and valuation multiples.
“CGS behaves like a minority investor who happens to run our CX engine.” — Client COO
