A couple of weeks on and I’m still coming down from an energising few days at SaaStock USA.
From our side, it was our biggest US turnout yet—with 1,500 founders, investors, and GTM leaders joining us across three full-on days.
We launched new products, welcomed the brightest minds in SaaS, and built momentum across our community.
We’ve received some great feedback and we’re already looking at what we can improve for SaaStock Europe in October and for our fourth trip to Austin in April 2026.
One of my favourite parts of the post-event buzz is seeing what you took away from the experience. So this week, I’m handing it over to you:
The power of in-person
“100+ conversations, new partnerships, good friends, and 10x more laughs.”
We focused on bringing together the right people and making it easier to connect through content, meetings, roundtables, dinners, drinks, and more.
Besnik Vrellaku, Founder & CEO of Salesflow.io shared how in an automated world, his team chose SaaStock as the place to “show up, have real conversations, learn, and teach”.
Content still matters
We knew that working with Nathan Latka on the Founderpath Center Stage was going to be valuable. And he delivered. His opening keynote gave founders a clear, practical, data-driven roadmap for growth.
ChurnZero CSO Sarah Kiley summed it up:
Looking beyond the AI headlines
We’ve entered the next stage of the hype cycle: true implementation and real results.
Our inaugural AI First event set the tone for the conference, with packed sessions from Alina Vandenberghe (Chili Piper), Rahul Vohra (Superhuman), and Jake Dunlap (Skaled) offering real examples and practical advice for businesses looking to embed AI in their product and operations.
Erin Stewart (B2B SaaS UX and Product Strategy Leader) shared her learnings:
Real results
SaaStock exists to help founders and teams move their businesses forward. It’s been amazing to see that our attendees and sponsors are already seeing tangible results.
Elizabeth McCalley, Founder and CEO at Starstak.ai, made sure the company came to the event with outcomes in mind and a playbook for achieving them. The results speak for themselves:
- 90,000 impressions in 3 days
- 15+ pre-set qualified meetings
- 40+ interviews with investors and founders
- Incredible feedback on their AI First roundtable and ebook
- 200+ new connections
What’s next
We’re levelling up year on year. But it’s no time to rest. The team is already deep into building October’s SaaStock Europe and plans are in motion for SaaStock USA 2026.
At both events, we’re 10xing the experience with Meetup – the largest meetings one-to-one programme of any B2B SaaS event.
