Recapping SummerSaaS 2023: Collaboration, Innovation, and a Noteworthy Pitch Competition

SummerSaaS 2023 has drawn to a close, and it’s been an engaging and insightful experience. For the second year running, Yay!Starter was proud to take part in the event as an official information partner.

This year, SummerSaaS, in its fourth edition, outdid itself by doubling its audience size from last year. The event has confirmed its standing as an important gathering for prominent VCs, who represent over $10 billion AuM, and promising SaaS startups, providing an exceptional platform for networking, learning, and influencing the future of the industry.

The agenda was filled with meaningful discussions, exploring topics that matter most to the industry right now. Conversations around slower capital deployment for early-stage startups, the pros and cons of Corporate Venture Capital, the emergence of Venture Debt partnerships amidst economic challenges, and the evolving secondary transaction patterns, provided much-needed perspective in these dynamic times.

➡️ Did you miss out on attending the event or want to revisit these impactful conversations? You can catch up on all the panel discussions, pitches, and keynote speeches here.

A key part of the event was the pitching competition. Out of 25 handpicked startups, Apsy Inc. stood out with its novel AI platform that streamlines the process and reduces the cost of building custom apps.

Every pitching track, however, unveiled its champions, each offering a unique view of the diverse SaaS landscape. Kudos to Boost.space, abillio, Helping Minds, and CarbonSpaceTech, who brought their distinctive contributions to the table.

We want to give a massive thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of SummerSaaS 2023: the panellists, speakers, judges, attendees, and of course, the co-sponsors – SaaStock and Dealroom.co. A special mention to Flashpoint Venture Capital for their top-notch organisation of the event.

As we look back at SummerSaaS 2023, we’re already excited for the next round. Here’s to a future filled with more collaboration, investment, and innovation in the ever-evolving SaaS universe. Until next year!
