Learn MoreSaaStr started out in 2012 as a blog where the founder shared his experiences and insights on growing a software-as-a-service company from $0 to $100 million in annual recurring revenue. Since then, SaaStr has grown and expanded into various media platforms and events with the goal of bringing SaaS founders, executives, and investors together to learn how to scale faster and with less stress.
With their strong emphasis on community-building, the 2019 SaaStr Annual is going to have networking lounges and parties, buddy matching, small-group meetings, a Pitch & Run 5K race, VC sessions, their Braindates mentoring program, and collaborative learning experiences.
