The SaaSpocalypse is here — but what is it really, and what does it mean for NZ SaaS companies? There are plenty of opinions out there, but the risks and opportunities are starting to take shape, along with the potential strategic responses for world-class businesses.

This session is a space for SaaS leaders to compare notes candidly. It will be facilitated by Serge van Dam and David Clearwater (KiwiSaaS), with shares from local SaaS leaders.

This will be a friendly, private discussion for ~50 leaders working in SaaS companies.

What we’ll cover:

How we’re assessing risk across different business models, markets, and functions
Where we see the best strategic moats and opportunities
Valuation dynamics — what’s happening in capital raising and M&A
How we’re having these conversations with teams, boards, customers, and other stakeholders

The event will be followed by the International SaaS Day party at Foxglove from 5:00pm.
