summary

Two European SaaS businesses report concrete wins and constraints: one reaches a >$11B valuation by selling process mining that finds unseen inefficiencies and even cuts carbon waste, the other calls itself the People Operating System and grows from 750 to 2,400 employees in 12 months after interviewing 75,000 candidates with an 80‑person recruiting team. Founding routes include bootstrapping in 2011, an Athens acquisition, GDPR as a sales advantage, and persistent hiring, visa and stock‑option frictions.
