Brief transcript excerpt from a SaaStr Europa session (December 2025, London) featuring Jason M. Lemkin and other speakers discussing SaaS meetups and early events in Europe. Speakers reminisce about meetups from ~10 years ago and comment on the quality of people attending and challenges when SaaS came to Europe.

Get up to speed on the latest the SaaS material. I studied.
The first events.
The meetups 10 years ago. I've been there quite a few times actually.
Sass come to Europe becomes disaster.
The best people are here talking about the things that really matter to them.
First 50 employees have to be pirates or romantics. You know what I'm talking about. These are folks on your team that, for reasons that almost don't make sense, live and bleed startups.
