Nathan Latka has done an excellent job of curating a tightly-knit conference. This was not the usual bla-bla about unicorns as the only existing norm in the SaaS industry, but how paths less trodden bring out outliers, and when they succeed, it inspires other founders to follow their path. No Boring Keynotes
Only founders share real stories from the trenches.

Great, pragmatic conference that speaks in particulars vs. high-level BS that is not helpful for company growth

Overall liked it, AC was super high on the founder stage and the food wasn't very vegetarian friendly. Other than that I enjoyed and will go again.

I liked the overall flow of the conference, which allowed for easy networking and learning opportunities. The short sessions were perfect for maintaining focus and engagement, while the startup-focused content provided valuable insights around SaaS business. SaaSOpen definitely exceeded my expectations, and I will highly recommend it to anyone interested in the SaaS industry.

Fantastic event. I had many inspiring conversations and was able to brainstorm business ideas with many other founders. I landed a new client, met a new partner, and learned about a new product that I'll probably use in my next startup. Can't wait till next year!

Lots of great talks, really like the 20 minute format, keeps it moving fast. Some talks are not that great, but 20 mins is fine, then the next one. Definitely a benefit over the 45+ min talks you see elsewhere.
Good venue. Not too large, easy to jump from room to room. Good location in NY. Good quality wifi (this is a major plus actually, often it's terrible at events). Good food.
Really liked the Nathan interviews - probably the best of the talks. Would ramp this up, do more interviews!

- Physical space: felt open and inclusive. Lots of great snacks. Overall great space and very well done. Dope green room. 9/10
- Event set up: super professional; great AV teams. 9/10
- other stuff: networking is expected but speakers don’t want to get pitched in the green room. Also need to work harder to get a more diverse crowd. Why not partner/contact Black Venture Consortium or similar groups? 3/10
Overall 7/10

I found a lot of value in attending SaaSOpen, particularly in the Brain Dates and have already started implementing some of the recommendations suggested. In addition, the Founders Stage sessions and Sales/Marketing sessions on Day 1 were very beneficial to learn from.

Great conference full of founders + CEOS. All of the talks are inspirational or have great tactical tips. This conference has such a unique blend of bootstrapped founders and venture backed founders that really makes it stand out. These are real entrepreneurs building multi million dollar businesses and aiming big.

Good venue, but too many stages for the number of attendees -- individual sessions felt pretty thin. Vendors crammed into the hallway made it tough to get through or have a real conversation. As a speaker, last-minute changes in expectations made it a bad experience for me.

The SaaSOpen was a wonderful event. The key was with the number of founders at various stages, the conversation and transparent nature led to good insights. The arrangements for one on one meetings and group meetings on the side were well-managed and easy to book and execute. The value I got from the sessions in addition to all the people I met was well worth my time and I gained a lot.

I thought it was a great event overall. I enjoyed the speakers. But I think it would have been good to get a little more time for some of the bigger names. I also think it would be good to open up another ticket-type for less money. It seemed that the venue was a little too large for the quantity of people. Would be nice to have more people there. Food and company were great.
