So TechCrunch had a good story on a 19-year journey of Sharefile to an $875,000,000 exit. It was founded way back in 2005, back when my last SaaS startup was, so I have a dim memory of it. Fast forward to today, they’ve sold for a stunning $875 million. But it’s not quite that simple. It was bootstrapped for the first 6 years, and then acquired by Citrix in 2011 for an undisclosed amount, so likely $100-$150m or less.

So I know we’ve just finished the 2024 SaaStr Annual, but we’ve learned a lot from it, even in Year 10. One is that some of the very, very best stuff to sponsor goes fast and often is N=1 in terms of availability. And 2025 Annual is earlier this year — it’s May 13-15 instead of the September for 2021-2024. So it will be here SOON!!
