As the premier SaaS conference, SaaStr Annual’s ability to attract top-tier investment firms and the best SaaS Founders creates unparalleled Founder <> Investor networking and learning opportunities.
The overwhelming participation by both Founders and Investors at the upcoming SaaStr Annual 2021 exemplifies this.
You can still buy tickets here before we sell out. If you submit to “Meet A VC” by midnight September 19, we will ensure your Company is shown to investors. Email us here if you have questions.
Our Wednesday is kicked off by our headliner “Founder Confidential” session:
Featuring 3 prominent Founders – from Calendly, Coda and LaunchDarkly – that have achieved scale, at “Founder Confidential” you will hear about the highs and lows of fundraising, working with a VC board, and real talk about what it really is like to be a true Founder.
No VCs are invited. Just the straight scoop and one of our most popular sessions!
After “Founder Confidential” ends, emerging SaaS startups network in person with leading VCs in our CoWorking area as part of our “Meet A VC” program.
