Helping SaaS Founders grow their businesses to $10M+ ARR

I started SaaStock in 2015 with a simple idea: give SaaS founders a real space to connect, learn, and scale faster–together.

Fast forward to today: SaaStock has become the global home for SaaS founders who are serious about growth.

We've hosted thousands of founders, VCs, and execs from Dublin to Austin, from seed stage to unicorn. We’ve built a community that doesn’t just celebrate scale, it shares the hard truths, the breakthroughs, and the lessons you only get by being in the room where it happens.

Before SaaStock, I spent 11 years in sales, getting my hands dirty, chasing targets, closing deals, and learning what real GTM pressure feels like. That experience taught me: there’s no shortcut to growth. You need the right people around you, the right mindset, and a willingness to evolve — especially now, in an AI First world.

Today, I'm focused on three things:

Growing SaaStock across Europe and the US as the leading platform for SaaS founders.

Building a new generation of founder-driven, AI-enabled companies.

Using the SaaS Revolution Show Podcast to tell the real stories — the wins and the war stories — from the frontlines of SaaS.

SaaS is changing fast.

I'm here for the builders who want to change with it and win.

If you're scaling a SaaS company, or investing in one, let's chat.

Our purpose is to make a real difference to the lives and companies of the SaaS community

Most SaaS companies fail within the first three years due to lack of runway, lack of product market fit and lack of founder experience in managing a business.
SaaStock helps B2B SaaS Founders on the journey to $10mill ARR supercharge their growth by connecting founders with VCs to help extend runway, learn from industry experts and build pipeline.
We do this through or Physical and virtual conferences, our founder membership program, SaaStock local community gatherings and media.
We are the only media and events business that focuses on SaaS founders scaling to $10mill ARR. This focus enables us to provide the highest quality events, content and connections
For founders in this stage of their journey.


Linkedin reminds me today its 10 year anniversary of SaaStock.

10 years since i took the leap to become a first time founder and creating an event and community business, something i’d never done before.

The first SaaStock was magical whilst it filled me with anxiety throughout.

Timing was everything. 

We’ve had tailwinds and faced headwinds.

10 years of growing the business, building a team, expanding internationally.

Showing up every day.

2 years during covid of trying to survive and providing value to our community when there was no in person. Never giving up.

Seeing some new products fail.

Seeing SaaStock Founder Membership (SFM) deliver value.

Working with amazing colleagues present and past.

10 years of looking forward to tomorrow on a Sunday night.

10 years of some exceptional memories and friendships forged.

It’s been hard. It can be exhausting. I’m getting some grey hairs (probs just age). I’ve put on weight, i’ve lost weight.

Yet the Why we do what we do. The purpose is so compelling and rewarding. I feel like I have the best job in the world (most days).

And whilst Linkedin says 10 years. It’s really day one again.

We’ve re-imagined SaaStock. A new program centred around 1:1 meetings and peer to peer learning.

It’s just the start of a new era at one of the most exciting times in B2B Software.

The fire is just as bright as it was 10 years ago.

Love to all our customers and SaaStockers over the years. I’m ready to build the future with you.

Running the largest 1:1 Meetings event in AI & SaaS

SaaS is dead!

Unless you’re actually building it.

Last night I sat at a table of SaaS founders where "dead" looked more like “doubling.”

One founder — fully bootstrapped — was at $8M ARR in April.
 Last night? $13M ARR.

Another I hadn’t seen in a year.
Now sitting at $16M ARR.

No outside capital.
No hype cycle.

Just leaning into tailwinds, building systems, and shipping value.

Add in founders at $5M ARR, $7M ARR — same story:
Quiet execution > loud predictions.

It’s funny — people keep declaring SaaS over.

Meanwhile, the builders I know are compounding.

There’s nothing better than breaking bread with founders who are doing the work.

We just closed our first ever 3-year deal.

10 years of SaaStock. Thousands of sponsors.
But never this.

Sure — we’ve always had loyal partners. Some have come back 7 or 8 years in a row, no questions asked.

But every time we tried to turn that into a multi-year commitment…
it ended up becoming “let’s just renew next year.”

So what changed?

The product changed. Not the pitch. Not the deck. The product.

Our Hosted Meetings program delivered more value — faster — than anything we’ve ever built.

Not for everyone. But for the ones it works for… it really works.

This customer ran 20 hosted meetings at SaaStock Europe last month.
They closed deals on site.
They got instant ROI.

And that’s why they just committed to:
 🔥 300 hosted meetings over the next 3 years
 🔥 at this year’s rate
 🔥 locked in

A 3-year deal wasn’t something we pushed.

It was something the results pulled into existence.

Product > persuasion.
Outcome > optimism.
Proof > promises.

On to the next one. 🙌

Look who's talking.

Or should I say speaking at SaaStock USA 2026, next April in Austin.

We've just published the first 10 speaker drop and I hope you like it as much as I do:

Manny Medina, Co-founder & CEO, Paid
Nathan Latka, Founder & CEO, Founderpath
Kady Srinivasan, CMO, You.com
Krish Ramineni, Co-founder & CEO, Fireflies.ai 
Adam Robinson, Founder & CEO, RB2B
Colin Nederkoorn, Founder & CEO, Customer.io
Jen Igartua, CEO Go Nimbly
Tanay Kothari, Co-founder & CEO, Wispr Flow
Richard White, Founder & CEO, Fathom
Anne Giviskos, SVP - Strategic Finance Leader & CAO, Navan

A mix of Unicorn Founders, $100M ARR companies, Bootstrappers and VC backed businesses. GTM & Finance leaders and dare I say influencers.

Something they all have in common? They are building the future of B2B Software.

I'm also a customer of 5 out of the 10, which had nothing to do with their selection.

Join me in the front row for their sessions at SaaStock USA in April, as well as Meetup our 1:1 meetings program and Tabletalks, our peer to peer learning program.

Save the dates, get your tickets, learn and meet with the best at SaaStock USA 2026.

After months of building, testing, breaking, and rebuilding, Vidsell is officially live.

What started as a simple idea—“How to differentiate yourself in the masses of cold emailing?”—is now a full platform built for modern B2B outreach.

With Vidsell - AI Personalized Video, anyone can:

🎥 Create personalized videos in seconds
🗣️ Clone their own voice for realistic narration - just say "Barcelona"
💬 Add dynamic CTAs, forms, and surveys
⚙️ Connect with 80+ sales and marketing tools
📈 Track engagement across every touchpoint

We built Vidsell for the people who send the most messages and get the fewest replies: BDRs, founders, marketers, and growth teams who know that human connection still wins.

This is only the beginning. Over the next weeks, we’ll be rolling out:

- Dynamic background with LinkedIn + Merge backgrounds
- Chrome extension 2.0 
- And APIs for multiple integrations

To everyone who helped us test, give feedback, and believe in the vision — thank you.

You’re part of the reason Vidsell exists.

Now, it’s time to sell differently.

When I first went all-in on outbound and sales, I knew it was risky.

But what made it harder wasn’t rejection; it was not knowing what I didn’t know. Frameworks, messaging angles, data tactics... it all felt like trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube in the dark.

#Vidsell #B2BSales #Outbound #ColdEmail

Ever thought of recording hundreds of fully personalized Loom-style videos in minutes?

And adding forms, calendars, surveys, CTAs, or even dynamic variables on the landing page…
while keeping it super light, fast, and tailored for each prospect?

That’s exactly what Vidsell - AI Personalized Video was built for.

Here’s how it works:

1️⃣ Record your video (choose dynamic background)
2️⃣ Sync your contact list and auto-generate 1:1 versions for each prospect
3️⃣ Customize the landing page with variables, brand kit colors, forms, calendars, and more
4️⃣ Share through your CRM, LinkedIn, email, or outbound tools like GetSales.io, lemlist, Instantly.ai, etc.

💡 Pro tip: If you offer gated content, embed your form directly on the page while showcasing your video.

Zero friction. Better conversions.

And yes:
You can generate unlimited dynamic backgrounds from URLs.
Think: company websites, LinkedIn profiles, Meta Ads Library pages, product dashboards…

What users are doing with dynamic backgrounds:

👉 B2B SaaS teams: Hyper-personalized demos where the background shows the prospect’s website or product.

👉 Outbound agencies: Scaling 200–500 personalized videos/day without breaking the team.

👉 Outreach specialists: Replacing cold emails with video pages that feel made-for-you.

👉 Solopreneurs & consultants: Using personal videos with forms and calendars to book meetings directly.

👉 Recruiters: Personalized outreach with the candidate’s portfolio or LinkedIn as the background.

👉 Marketing teams: Warm intros, launches, feature announcements, nurture flows.

Outreach used to be about what you say.
Now it’s also about what they see.

That’s where video is going — and we’re building it now.

#Vidsell #Outbound

Just wrapped up an incredible week at Web Summit 🚀

Between the endless networking events (maybe a few too many), it was amazing to finally meet so many familiar faces from my LinkedIn feed, Demand Gen pros, GTM experts, and Outbound masterminds who keep raising the bar every day. 

A special shoutout to Nico Petr, Michelle Emiliia, Shafik N. Bahou, Paula Gina, and many more :)

Also great connecting with the Closum team who’s absolutely crushing omnichannel engagement and automation for B2C. If you’re curious about what they’re building, have a chat with Tiago Silva and João Silva

How was Web Summit for you? Always up for a post-event debrief or to brainstorm ideas for your 2026 GTM attack plan. Drop a DM or share your thoughts below!

November is here — your last real chance to load your calendar before the inevitable December slowdown.

But instead of “just doing more,” here are 3 video-led outbound playbooks to stack meetings for January and stop fighting for scraps in Q4.

1) Reactivate old leads (6+ months untouched)

Go through deals/leads you haven’t touched since spring or earlier.
These are people who already showed intent but never moved forward.

Send a 20–30s personalized Vidsell video:

“Hey Ana — noticed we haven’t reconnected since earlier this year. If January is a better window to explore this, want to lock a quick touchpoint before year-end to discuss {company_painpoint}?”

This turns cold → warm instantly.

2) Turn old no-shows and ‘not now’ leads into Jan meetings

Record a hyper-personalized Loom-style video (or batch-produce 1000s with Vidsell - AI Personalized Video in less than 5 minutes):

“Hey Mark — when we last spoke, timing wasn’t ideal. Totally get it. If January is when things open up again, happy to lock a 10-minute chat now so it’s on your radar before the chaos hits.”

Add 1 useful insight, template, or short screen recording.
Value > pitch.

3) Secure the meetings you already have booked

Don’t let Q4 leads slip.
Send a short video to confirm the meeting:

“Excited for our sync next week — here’s a 30s video on what I prepared based on your goals.”

Loop your AE (or founder/marketer) into the thread — they add context, credibility, and make your prospect feel prioritized.

Vidsell - AI Personalized Video is capable of generating your video and landing page fully dynamic with 8+ personalized variations (AI, Dynamic backgrounds, and dynamic variables) in minutes! 

If you want support implementing this:
👉 I opened 3 free December slots for 1:1 30min Acquisition Consultancy (first-come, first-served).
👉 Special promo code for anyone wanting to use video at scale with Vidsell.

Let’s fill January, not fight Q4.
Go get ’em. 🚀

Day 2 of #websummit 🙌

Vidsell - AI Personalized Video is going strong on pitches 💪 

Are you there? Let’s chat

Back from holidays and immediately spotted a huge missed opportunity in B2B video sales...

I just received a video avatar link (Google Drive) in an email, but the landing page had zero tracking, no calendar integration, and no immediate call-to-action to book a meeting.

Why is this a costly mistake?

👉 Lost Attention: You can't guarantee your prospect sees the video and replies right away. The second they navigate away, you lose their attention and your momentum.
👉 No Attribution: Without tracking, you have no idea if the video drove the engagement or if it was worth the effort.

Of course, I immediately pitched Vidsell - AI Personalized Video.

If you're sharing video content, it must be on a platform that turns a view into a conversion. It's a no-brainer: Every video touchpoint needs sales elements and proper attribution.

With Vidsell, it's possible to transform any hosted video into a sales engine. You can embed:

✅ Calendars for instant bookings.
✅ Forms for lead capture.
✅ Even contract proposals for on-the-spot signing (Yes, I discovered that powerful feature today!)

Stop sending passive video links that don't convert. Start sending a Video Sales Page with the tools to close the deal.

Curious about upgrading your video distribution from a static link to an active sales asset? DM me to see Vidsell in action!
