SaaStock Founder Membership (SFM)

Having run SaaStock for 9 years with 7 European editions and 2 USA editions & 427 episodes of The SaaS Revolution show podcast, I know this much: No successful SaaS Founder has ever gone it alone. They've built support networks. They are part of peer groups. They want to make the loneliest job in the world less lonely. Learn from others to become better and avoid the potholes. This led to me building The SaaStock Founder Membership on a mission to help thousands of founders become better, more successful, less lonely and overcome the odds. Recently our members joined us at SaaStock Europe's 7th edition. What made it better for them, was they had an exclusive day to get together pre-event. They got to connect with their tribe and then be part of roundtables led by: Krish Subramanian CEO of Chargebee Godard Abel CEO of G2 Brendan Noud CEO of LearnUpon Who then faced a Q&A from the group including questions such was 'what did it feel like when you hit rock bottom?'. I can't reveal the answers as it was a Chatham House rules event. But I can tell you everyone was open, honest, vulnerable. The connections forged pre main show and the ROI provided made that day alone worth the trip to Dublin for these founders. With each interaction, each event, each new member, SaaStock Founder Membership (SFM) get's stronger and drives more value to the brilliant founders within. We've more to do and i'm excited about how much impact we can make together in the future.

SaaStock Founder Membership (SFM) day in Dublin is complete! 40 founders gathered from all over the globe for a day of roundtables followed by a fireside panel that I moderated with our inspirational mentors - Godard Abel, Founder & CEO G2 Krish Subramanian, Co-founder & CEO Chargebee Brendan Noud Founder & CEO LearnUpon The discussion was varied and wide ranging, including topics such as- Secrets to not burning out & going the long haul as a founder. Getting to your first 10M. Efficient growth for max profitability. M&A - knowing when it’s time to sell & lessons learned. All followed by a intimate 3 course dinner. Thank you to everyone who attended today and a special thank you to our amazing mentors & Alexander Theuma & the whole SaaStock team for organizing such a great event.

SaaStock completely NAILED it this year. Since September, I’ve been to SaaStr, SaaSOpen, B2BRocks and SaaStock ... all great conferences with brilliant people. Now, I have to say, Alexander Theuma and his team completely nailed it. The event business is hard … super hard. We’re all looking for 1. 💥 That spark of inspiration = it comes with good quality CONTENT with top notch speakers  2. 🚨 An opportunity to all be students, peers and teachers = great and diverse NETWORKING audience Balance is the right term to describe what SaaStock built this year. Perfect balance between what we all expect from an event with a touch of caring and craziness. Got a chance to officially be part of SaaStock Founder Membership (SFM) - I’ll do a dedicated post on that as this community is just invaluable. Roundtables with Krish Subramanian and Godard Abel - it was 🤯 - when sessions ended I had just one thought : "Back to work Marc" Met with partners, customers, friends too and so many great people. Geoffroy - Alex - Enzo - Axel - Edouard - Guillaume Moubeche #thefrechmafia Stefan & Glenn - David - James - Dee - Joran - #sfmers Emeric - Nathan - Nick - Jake - Elio - Hugo - Harry #crazyfounders Can't name you all - but it was amazing being surrounded by such brilliant people. Thanks SaaStock, I feel the next drop sessions will feel like an earthquake in the B2B events ecosystem. Let’s keep building 🚀

SaaStock Europe 2024 is a wrap 💫 Some of the best "3 days of the year" for me. A must-attend for SaaS folks 🙌 Well, first, of all, the event was huge. It's a perfect combination of: - business learnings - communities - interaction - fun Been a SaaStock Founder Membership (SFM) since 2.5 years, With 4,500+ attendees, 150+ speakers, and endless opportunities to network. It's not at all easy to make this happen....Big ups to Alexander Theuma & SaaStock team. A summary of everything that made it special👇 1️⃣ Learning from people I met and got insights from many industry legends like Guillaume, lemlist founder (who scaled Lempire to $28M ARR). Nathan Latka also gave an insightful keynote on the 9 tactics to hit $10M fast and Thomas Smale on sharing M&A insights and when it’s the right time to sell. Also, thanks to Matt Cretzman for gifting your book "LinkedIn Advantage" to me. You are one of the best MCs I know 🎙️ Real magic happens at mastermind after the event "SaaSociety" → a room of founders who do a combined ARR of $550 million+ 🤯 ↳ Pekka Koskinen broke down the Leadfeeder & Echobot merger ↳ Arnas Stuopelis shared journey of scaling Hostinger to $200 million+ ARR Tons of knowledge bombs. 2️⃣ Fun & Fitness There was also lot of fitness involved 🏃🏻♂️ 🏋🏻♂️ The two morning 5K runs & 2 gym sessions with Wes Bush were killer. Loved the chat we had a chat on product-led growth....Y'all must check out his book "Product-led playbook". Also, had a fun interview with Paddle 🎥. Brainstormed on the statement "do fit founders grow business slowly?". Haha... you all know what I think on this. Btw, I recently read a study that founders who run marathons are more likely to build a unicorn 🦄 Also, always lovely meeting Alexandru Stan Love what his building with Tekpon 3️⃣ Networking & supporting each other My co-founder Glenn Miseroy became one of the first paid users of a super cool SaaS product, Face2Face, built by the talented Nick Tomic It’s always a special feeling to support bootstrapped founders👨💻 The energy at the event was infectious—motivating and uplifting all around. It felt amazing to finally take my co-founder and best friend Glenn Miseroy to this incredible event—it was long overdue. Also, cooking up something exciting with Vincent Jong from Leadfeeder To top it off, it was fantastic meeting everyone who attended. Great vibes all around 💎 Can't wait to see you all soon 💫

SaaStock 2024 was an incredible experience, and I couldn’t be happier that I attended! Typically, I wouldn’t stay through an entire conference, but SaaStock is different. The real highlights for me were the exclusive SaaStock Founder Membership (SFM) Day before the main event and the amazing SaaSociety retreat at Mount Juliet Estate afterward. I had the privilege of learning from some of the most successful SaaS startup founders and influencers in the industry. It was also great to reconnect with familiar faces and make new friends along the way. Roundtables, deep conversations, engaging activities, and a gala dinner made it the perfect way to wind down from the intensity of the conference. Looking forward to next year already! #SaaStock #SaaSociety #SaaS #Community #Startups #CookieYes #Mozilor

Getting a community can change your life, business, and career... If it can work for me, it can work for you. (Hear me out). As an entrepreneur or a professional, your "growth" journey can be isolating. And at the end of the day, trust me → we all are social beings.   We crave connection: a sense of belonging that shapes and acknowledges who we are. Being part of a community with like-minded people has been a huge advantage for my personal and professional growth. For example: for me, SaaStock Founder Membership (SFM) has been one such immensely valuable community. Shoutout to Alexander Theuma for building this solid community. Btw, Alexandru Stan is also doing a great job with Tekpon Awards - an Oscars equivalent for the SaaS community. These relationships go beyond transactional stuff. If you are stuck somewhere, people around will help, guide, or empathize with you. - Learn from the experience of others - Open your perspectives - Build connections - Find solutions Communities → Expansion of Luck Surface Area. Also, SaaStock is happening again→ one of the most practical, engaging, and fun events in the SaaS industry. (3 days to go grab your pass) Who is joining me and Cristian Dina at the morning run next Tuesday? I bet Wes Bush and Glenn Miseroy will mot skip this one 🏃🏻 😉 If this post resonates with you, share ♻️ this post and follow me for more insights on entrepreneurship, SaaS, & business.
