If you’re a trailblazer shaping the future of SaaS or AI-driven innovation, then this is your opportunity to be part of something big. 

 

Women in SaaS Pass

With this pass, you get full access to the conference—tradeshow floor, coffee, lunch, and the social events where the magic happens: the Welcome Reception and Happy Hour. A chance to network, mingle, and even make some power moves. But hurry, these passes are limited. 

How to Apply:

  • Fill out the form.
  • Keep an eye on your inbox for the next steps. You’ll hear all the details from the SAAS NORTH team. 

The Qualifications:

  • You MUST be a woman founder of a SaaS startup or an AI Native company, or a woman holding the majority or equitable stake in one.
  • Cannot be a service provider or consultant.
  • Your company’s annual revenue needs to be under $1M. 

Optional Bonus: Firehood Angel Camp  

Here’s the fun part: For the fourth year in a row, the Firehood Angels are ready to hear your pitch. Think of it as your chance to impress women investors from across Canada who have already committed capital to be deployed exclusively at SAAS NORTH.  

This isn’t just about showing up—it’s about stepping up and getting the mentorship, connections, and potentially the funding that could take your business to the next level. 

All women entrepreneurs attending SAAS NORTH are invited to pitch at the Firehood Angel Camp. So, get your best pitch ready, and make sure you’ve got your top three asks locked and loaded. 

The Process

  • Apply for your Women in SaaS Pass below.
  • During the application, you’ll be asked if you want to pitch to the Firehood Angels. If yes, we’ll schedule you for a pitch time.
  • Did you buy a pass? Then you’re guaranteed to meet the Angels

The Pitch

  • You’ll have 5 minutes to sell your story to the Angels.
  • After each pitch, the Angels will have 5 minutes to chat and offer feedback or discuss follow-ups.
  • There will be a shortlist of top startups invited back for a 10-minute deep-dive session. This is where things get serious, and the funding could start flowing (time subject to change). 

The Prize

  • $100K+ in funding from the Firehood Angels, with capital pre-committed exclusively for deployment at SAAS NORTH
  • Connections & mentorship from a network of experienced Angel investors
  • A detailed FAQ outlining the potential investment process will be shared with applicants closer to the event date

So, if you’re ready to take the tech world by storm, secure your pass, get your pitch together, and let’s make it happen. We’re not just supporting women in SaaS and AI Native companies—we’re setting you up to own it. 

The Firehood Angel Camp at SAAS NORTH last year was such a rich and unique experience. Winning was no doubt a highlight, however it’s the ongoing support and advocacy of the Firehood angel investors that takes the big W, for me! As a woman tech founder, these opportunities to build new bonds and strengthen community networks with investors who deeply care and want to create systemic level change is absolutely invaluable.

Participating in the Firehood Camp at SAAS NORTH was a game-changer for me! I had the opportunity to pitch Blanka to a room (actually it was a tent!) full of seasoned female investors and not only did I receive valuable feedback and insights that refined my approach, but I also had the opportunity to connect with some truly inspiring individuals. The connections I made during the Firehood Camp have turned into meaningful relationships that I’ve continued to nurture. A huge shoutout to the Firehood for creating such an empowering event.

Firehood Angel Camp at SAAS NORTH was unlike any other pitching experience I’ve had as an entrepreneur. The intimate, curated environment provided an opportunity to build relationships with incredible women entrepreneurs and investors from across Canada. Together with these entrepreneurs, we became an informal cohort, connecting regularly to offer support, celebrate the wins, and keep it real about the hard. I highly recommend Firehood Angel Camp!
