Description
In this episode of The Breakout Growth Podcast, Sean Ellis interviews Ferdinand Goetzen, Director of Marketing and Growth at 3D Hubs, a B2B platform that connects engineers to a global network of on-demand manufacturers. 3D Hubs was founded in Amsterdam in 2013 and since that time the platform has helped engineers produce more than 4 million parts.
In the interview, Ferdinand shares his insights into what is driving 3D Hubs’ breakout growth. He covers a broad range of topics including:
Why the $12 trillion manufacturing market was ripe for disruption
How 3D Hubs offers an amazing aha moment when a new project can be priced in seconds compared to the weeks it takes via alternative solutions
Ferdinand’s top priority tasks when he joined the team six months ago
The process that 3D Hubs follows to accelerate growth
How the 3D Hubs marketing and growth team fits into the broader organization
Ferdinand previously ran growth for Recruitee, one of the fastest-growing B2B SaaS businesses in Europe. He shares some of the key differences between growing that business and 3D Hubs. He also compares some unique challenges of growing a B2B vs a B2C company and what it typically takes to be successful.

Explosive marketplace growth: GenM CEO, Moe Abbas, shares how they built a rapidly expanding two-sided marketplace that connects apprentices to real-world job experiences: In this episode of The Breakout Growth Podcast, Sean Ellis interviews Moe Abbas, CEO of GenM, a marketplace for digital marketing apprenticeships that has attracted over 60,000 students and 30,000 businesses in its first 2 years of business. Sean’s goal with this interview is to understand what is truly driving breakout growth success for GenM’s marketplace. GenM’s growth starts with strong product/market fit and a worthy mission of fixing the broken internship model. Their solution connects students with businesses for digital marketing apprenticeships. The language of “apprenticeships” is an intentional departure from the more traditional language of internships. But the solution goes beyond language to actually require that new businesses sign a commitment to true mentorship and teaching for students. GenM comp by The Breakout Growth Podcast
