As we wrote in our launch post about expanding SaaStock New York into SaaStock East Coast , our main aim is to foster a SaaS community that spans from Florida to Quebec. The SaaS industry’s beating heart will probably always be New York, and it will also be the home of SaaStock East Coast on June 4-6. However, we believe in giving the entire coastline a chance to flourish.

Christina Villa had a simple launch plan for Cledara: do it at the SaaStock Startup stage on October 16th, 2018. She had quit her job four months earlier and incorporated the company in London. Cledara was going to solve the problem of companies having too many SaaS subscriptions that were increasingly difficult to keep track of. Cledara would serve as their home and the payment hub powered through a digital Mastercard.

In what can be rightfully deemed the era of the entrepreneur, we often gravitate towards glorifying founders; their successes and lifestyles. Yet it is becoming increasingly clear that in a lot of cases, the life of the founder is anything but spectacular. Their struggles are often unspoken and largely remain a personal ordeal. We have been trying to negate that from SaaStock’s inception by creating a platform and a space that is safe for sharing failures and difficulties.
