29 Latin American SaaS Superstars

In preparation for SaaStock LatAm, we looked at what the vast continent has brewed beyond hefty IPOs, asked local friends such as Diego Gomes, CEO of Rock Content and Patrick Arippol, Managing Director of Early-Stage Investments in DGF Investimentos which are the companies they are really excited about and came up with a list of 27 Latin American SaaS superstars. Trailblazing through their home continent, venturing successfully onto the world scene and changing from on-premise software to SaaS, these companies could have a postal code in any SaaS hotspot in the world.

The SaaS Irish mafia at SaaStock18

SaaStock was born and raised as a conference on these shores and it’s always key to pay special tribute to our very own SaaS Irish mafia that travels the shortest distance and punches above its weight. Founders, executives, investors and all-round sound individuals are all joining us and we are excited to welcome them. Come see them on the stage, meet them in the investor zone, or chat with them in one of our many parties. Here is a list of 18 of them:

What’s the Craic at SaaStock?

Craic, as we like to call fun in Ireland, has a prominent spot on the agenda. Yes, that does involve partying and the occasional Guinness or two. But because everyone has a different definition of fun, it involves much more.

Scale High: the talks at the scale track you can’t miss

Welcome to the stage of your company where stuff gets a bit crazy and quite expensive. Not that it was normal or anything before that. Look at it from the bright side: to get here you probably will have built a movement, established a category and will most likely be sitting on the makings of an IPO. Not a bad sacrifice to make. Here is a brief overview of what you will learn from the Scale track at Saastock18.

Spotlight on Growth: Who to see at the Growth Stage

While listening and learning to tactical sessions on growth may not bring you comfort, it will bring you insight, ideas, and strategies for reaching the next level of challenges. That’s what the SaaStock Growth track provides. SaaS veterans and investors are here to counsel you on the uphill climb from $1M to $10M ARR: how to fix what’s broken, do more with less, and grow, grow, grow. These are just a few of the must-see speakers this October.

What’s in store for Startups at SaaStock18

Our Startup Program, created with startups in mind, is getting better and better. You could say, we are slightly spoiling the young upstarts. However, we vehemently believe they could use a bit of spoiling. It’s why we introduced a Startup Program and a Global Pitch Competition in the first place. What we didn’t expect is how enthusiastically and generously, our partners would jump on board to help us.

How we are bringing more diversity to SaaStock18

I am happy to share that SaaStock is announcing the Zendesk/SaaStock Inclusivity Pledge, currently, a gender diversity pledge that will bring a more diverse slate of speakers to not only this year’s SaaStock conference but to all of our conferences going forward. In partnership with our Diversity & Inclusion sponsor Zendesk, whose executives refuse to speak at events where no women are involved, we are taking an important step forward on the journey of making SaaS conferences and the tech ecosystem more diverse.

18 Companies Rocking at SaaStock

I have always been excited by SaaS companies, big and small, scrappy and steady, ones building their products around the corner in London, or killing it from Gran Canaria. These companies and their founders all have their different story of growth and this year we are fortunate to gather 900 of them for SaaStock in Dublin. If I could, I would make the ultimate list with all of them but since this year we are doing everything in 18s, I have picked up a few true SaaS rockstars.
