More than 100 different VC funds are flying into Dublin to meet the next wave of SaaS companies at SaaStock next week
In what will be the first conference of its scale with a pure focus on B2B software-as-a-service (SaaS), more than 100 different VC funds are flying into Dublin to meet the next wave of companies at SaaStock next week.
The calibre of venture capital investors purely focused on B2B SaaS makes SaaStock the only place to be, outside of Silicon Valley, next week. Investors include 500 Startups, Atomico, Accel, Scale Venture Partners, Bessemer Venture Partners, Salesforce Ventures, Frontline Ventures, and many more.
‘We are extremely excited to host SaaStock in Dublin – a natural choice, given the large cluster of international SaaS companies and the exciting indigenous companies making it the forerunner to be the SaaS hub of Europe’
– ALEX THEUMA
Notable speakers at the event include: Leo Widrich, COO and co-founder at Buffer; Des Traynor, co-founder of Intercom; Elizabeth Yin, partner at 500 Startups; Ray Smith, CEO at DataHug; Stacey Bishop, partner at Scale Venture Partners; and Philippe Botteri, partner at Accel.
