Jake Stainer is Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Skale, the B2B SaaS SEO agency he built with Italo Viale after leading growth at Typeform and TravelPerk. He also founded the language-learning company Papora and writes about SaaS growth tactics through Inflection Growth.
Typeform and TravelPerk
Stainer's public bio path runs through hypergrowth SaaS seats. He was Head of Growth at Typeform during an early scale period, then Head of Growth and Demand Generation at TravelPerk, and he has advised companies including Hotjar.
Podcast hosts at The Growth Syndicate have had him walk through building a team at Typeform versus inheriting one at TravelPerk, and why he chose starting an agency over climbing another corporate ladder.
Co-founding Skale with Italo Viale
Stainer co-founded Skale with Italo Viale, and the two serve as Co-CEOs. The agency helps B2B SaaS brands treat organic search as a measurable revenue engine, with content, technical SEO, and AI-search work aimed at pipeline and MRR.
His Inflection Growth about page says he made his first website at 11 and founded an ed-tech SaaS company at 16, and that he still runs Papora alongside Skale.
Writing at Inflection Growth
Through Inflection Growth, Stainer publishes tactics aimed at professional digital marketers inside SaaS companies who want inflection-point growth. Public episode notes from his Growth Syndicate conversation flag themes such as growth engineering gaps, killing underperforming blogs, and the idea that SEO is not free.
