Smartlead x Pump: Scaling Without Scaling Headcount

Smartlead and Pump are bringing together founders and operators who have actually scaled sales, infra, and support without ballooning headcount, for a candid roundtable at Pump's SF office. No stage, no script. Just an open conversation on what to automate first, what is still worth a human, and what fast-growing SaaS startups get wrong about scaling lean. Stick around after for Q&A, good food, and good conversation. On the panel: Vaibhav, Founder, Smartlead Spandana, Founder, Pump Yasser, CEO, Chatbase Caroline Z, Knowtex Michael Buckwald, COO, Pump.co (previously co-founded Leap Motion) The details: 📅 Wednesday, October 7, 2026 🕓 4:00 to 7:00 PM PT 📍 Pump HQ, San Francisco
