Helping SaaS Founders grow their businesses to $10M+ ARR

I started SaaStock in 2015 with a simple idea: give SaaS founders a real space to connect, learn, and scale faster–together.

Fast forward to today: SaaStock has become the global home for SaaS founders who are serious about growth.

We've hosted thousands of founders, VCs, and execs from Dublin to Austin, from seed stage to unicorn. We’ve built a community that doesn’t just celebrate scale, it shares the hard truths, the breakthroughs, and the lessons you only get by being in the room where it happens.

Before SaaStock, I spent 11 years in sales, getting my hands dirty, chasing targets, closing deals, and learning what real GTM pressure feels like. That experience taught me: there’s no shortcut to growth. You need the right people around you, the right mindset, and a willingness to evolve — especially now, in an AI First world.

Today, I'm focused on three things:

Growing SaaStock across Europe and the US as the leading platform for SaaS founders.

Building a new generation of founder-driven, AI-enabled companies.

Using the SaaS Revolution Show Podcast to tell the real stories — the wins and the war stories — from the frontlines of SaaS.

SaaS is changing fast.

I'm here for the builders who want to change with it and win.

If you're scaling a SaaS company, or investing in one, let's chat.

Founder

Our purpose is to make a real difference to the lives and companies of the SaaS community

Most SaaS companies fail within the first three years due to lack of runway, lack of product market fit and lack of founder experience in managing a business.
SaaStock helps B2B SaaS Founders on the journey to $10mill ARR supercharge their growth by connecting founders with VCs to help extend runway, learn from industry experts and build pipeline.
We do this through or Physical and virtual conferences, our founder membership program, SaaStock local community gatherings and media.
We are the only media and events business that focuses on SaaS founders scaling to $10mill ARR. This focus enables us to provide the highest quality events, content and connections
For founders in this stage of their journey.


December was our strongest month for sponsorship revenue in 2025 🚀

Not an easy feat in a month shortened by holidays — but a clear signal of where SaaStock is headed.

In December alone, we:

 • Welcomed 12 new sponsors
 • Closed 4 global partnerships spanning both events
 • Signed partners onto SaaStock USA & SaaStock Europe 2026
 • Closed the majority of deals before Dec 24, with two more signed between Christmas and New Year

New partners joining the SaaStock ecosystem include:

Accoil, Aleph, Atlassian, Consero Global, Deel, Empleyo, FullEnrich, GoCardless, IDA Ireland, NetSuite, Pylon and Trundl, Inc.

A major driver?

Our new meetings product, which was taken up by the majority of sponsors and continues to prove its value in delivering real, high-intent connections — not just logo placement.

We enter 2026 with:
 ✔️ A stronger pipeline than this time last year
 ✔️ A market that’s accelerating
 ✔️ A team and product built to scale
 ✔️ Clear momentum across AI & B2B software partnerships

We’re looking ahead to a banner year — and to further cementing SaaStock as the largest meeting-led event in AI & B2B Software.

If you’re planning your 2026 GTM strategy and want partnerships that actually drive outcomes, now’s the time to talk.

Heyyoo!!

Welcome to one of the awesomest LinkedIn of a sales person.
Not saying I am the awesomest sales person, YET. 

I started sales by accident like 99% of us, when I did not want to continue with my chosen subject in graduation. 

Eventually fell in love with this profession. Recently started learning & upskilling, after a few realisations.
I have sold multiple SaaS products to C-level execs, sweet <3

Currently on a mission to be the best AE in the market.

Other than this, I run 3 sales communities catering to 400+ SDRs and AEs in India to enable more people with knowledge and confidence. 

Update-
Doing communities full time now. Don't have a fixed plan to 'where do you see yourself in 5 years?' May be I'll be on TV, and you'll see me. Who knows!

Thanks for reading, for anything else, please reachout.

People that ask for a raise after being fired/leaving in probation on a salary that was raised just 2 months ago, deserve a special place in hell. 

Don't be this person.

Public service announcement. 

A few companies did silent lay offs in last 2 months. Quiet and slow. 

Make it look like it's a performance based firing which might be true in some cases, but in most cases the reason has been insane salary. 

I know SDRs at these companies making 20/22/25 LPA fixed to bring 5 meetings in a month and it's SMB to Mid market. That's crazy! 

Most of these folks will have BIG trouble finding a new job. 

If you are one of the SDRs reading this, please understand the market does not agree with your ex company, and won't be able to match your salary. Of course exceptions exist, and it might happen, but for most it won't. 

PS - Sales 101 might be able to help you with the next job, reach out using this link -
