What if scaling a company while raising a family was your biggest challenge—not funding, competition, or product-market fit? In this episode of SaaS Fuel, host Jeff Mains sits down with Kasper Pihl Tornoe, CEO & Co-Founder of Question Base, to discuss the real-life struggles of entrepreneurship, family life, and scaling AI-powered documentation tools.

"Scaling a business while raising a family is next-level entrepreneurship." – Jeff Mains

"Poor documentation is an invisible growth killer—fix it before it’s too late." – Kasper Pihl Tornoe

"Product-led growth (PLG) is an experiment, not a formula—adapt constantly." – Jeff Mains

"The investor story is your future. The customer story is your now. Focus accordingly." – Kasper Pihl Tornoe

Communication is everything – In business & family, assumptions kill productivity.

AI-powered documentation is the future – Stop losing knowledge when employees leave.

Product-led growth (PLG) isn't one-size-fits-all – Experimentation is key.

The right customers = faster adoption – Focus on the right user persona, not everyone.

SaaS success = simplicity – The best products remove complexity, not add it.
