SAAS NORTH was AMAZING! As a tech founder, there were so many rich opportunities to connect with quality investors, inspiring tech founders, and invaluable supporters of the eco-system at large. The Conference created opportunities to bridge new relationships and deepen existing ones. It was a truly unforgettable conference that I plan to attend every year!
