IPBN member Otonomee's Aidan O'Shea posted, "Great to spend a week in San Francisco and a few days at SaaStrAnnual the biggest get-together for the tech community in the Bay Area. Some observations: for a tech conference the focus is mostly on sales and building the best sales process and outcomes. The most successful SaaS companies have nailed selling. While there are headwinds, the fundamentals of the cloud model are still very strong! The cloud will account for 100% of the software industry in 10 years' time. Valuations are down from highs of 25x revenue to 10ish x but the reality is welcome from VC community. Great to experience the positivity of the SaaStr community. I’d highly recommend a visit for any scaling tech companies.
