SaaStr Annual 2025 brings 12,500 founders to San Francisco May 13-15, 25 times the size of its first year. Speakers highlight the conference as a gathering of top SaaS minds, billionaires, and billion-dollar companies where founders push each other toward unicorn ambitions.

Chapters

I'm here because this is where the cloud meets. This is where the greatest minds in SaaS are this week.
One of the coolest things I think about SaaStr is that it brings in entrepreneurial energy and talent from all over the world.
SaaStr is 25 times bigger than it was the first year, which seemed big. The original mission was just to share. 12,500 people all committed to SaaS under one roof.
I've met about, like, 5 billionaires in the last 3 days. $15, $20, $30 billion companies, it's next level. The impact that Saastr has had on me is just to think much, much bigger. I want to turn my company into a unicorn now.
No one's gonna get anything without trying. You don't get anything without trying in this world. And if you're trying to do something that has a ridiculously low chance of success, you got to be pretty fucking confident. The topics here, if I wasn't speaking, I would still be here.
We always at the a feeling deep inside that we were onto something.
You get there and you realize, like, there's so much more to go. How do I keep growing?
People who give up aren't at Saster. They're not investing in the next step.
