SaaStr

A participação no SaaStr 2024 e minha viagem para São Francisco, no coração do Vale do Silício, foram uma mistura de emoções e descobertas! 💡🌉 Setembro foi pesado rs 👀   No #tbt de hoje, quero relembrar momentos inesquecíveis, como o sonho realizado de conhecer a icônica Golden Gate, símbolo da cidade. E a emoção de estar na lendária garagem da Apple, onde Steve Jobs, em um local tão simples, começou a transformar o mundo. Visitar o Apple Park Visitor Center foi a cereja do bolo, um lugar mágico que me fez refletir sobre o impacto das inovações da Apple. Sim, sou fã e usuário de carteirinha! 😄🔵   Por todos os cantos, era impossível ignorar o avanço da IA. Outdoors ao longo das estradas reforçavam como a Inteligência Artificial está moldando o futuro do mercado.🤖 Foram algumas horas de palestras sobre inteligência artificial no #SaaStr2024. 🦾 🔴   A visita ao Zoom Headquarters, em San Jose, superou todas as expectativas. Pude explorar soluções inovadoras, como uma câmera que identifica anotações em uma lousa tradicional e as transcreve diretamente para a tela da reunião. Incrível! 📷   E para fechar com chave de ouro, a imensidão da Chase Center – Arena do Golden State Warriors, meu time na NBA – me deixou sem palavras. 🏀 Junto a milhares de pessoas, assisti a Mark Zuckerberg falar sobre IA, Ollama, e o futuro que nos espera com hologramas, realidade aumentada, metaverso e principalmente sovre errar e MVP. É inspirador ver como o mundo está se transformando com essas tecnologias! 🌏🇺🇸🇧🇷 Vou compartilhando o vídeo com todos os ambientes do #SaaStr2024 e algumas fotos do Vale! Obrigado pela atenção! 🎙️🚀💙 Passando tudo isso com eles, Célio Fabiano ✌🏼, Anderson Palma, Fábio Teles e Matheus Emboava ✌🏻 🔥🏁

"In SaaS, time is the ultimate competitor. Move fast, but build for the long game." Last year, I was lucky to be in Singapore to attend the SaaStr APAC event and meet Jason. SaaStr is the world's largest and #1 community of SaaS executives, founders, and entrepreneurs. I've been an ardent listener of "The Official Saastr Podcast" which interviews the most prominent operators and investors to discover their tips, tactics, and strategies to attain success in the fiercely competitive world of SaaS. The podcast boasts fantastic episodes that give you a playbook on how to get from $0 to $100m ARR faster and what it takes to scale successfully. Having been a founder himself, Jason's insights resonate deeply. His journey from 3x founder to VC offers a unique perspective on both sides of the table. His emphasis on sustainable growth and customer-centric product development has always been quite insightful. To Jason M. Lemkin and the entire SaaStr crew: Thank you for your tireless efforts in building this incredible community. You're not just event organizers; you're catalysts for innovation and growth in the SaaS world. 🙏 #saascommunity #saastr

Another great year at SaaStr Annual 2024! 🌟 Juan Manuel Barrero and SEBASTIAN POLITI had an amazing time diving into the latest #SaaS trends with founders, customers, and investors. Reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones was a highlight! We picked up some great insights from sessions like “The AI Cloud Era” with Sameer Dholakia from Bessemer Venture Partners and Kate Jensen from Anthropic. We also enjoyed “Building Product in the Age of AI” with Jennifer Taylor from Plaid and Karandeep Anand from Brex 🚀 Can't wait for the next SaaStr Conference 🔥

Dear SaaStr: Growth Has Slowed and My VP of Sales is Pushing Me To Hire More Reps. Is That The Right Way to Go? No. Not 9+ times out of 10. In fact, the #1 sign your VP of Sales is really struggling is when their best answer to slow sales is to hire more AEs. Of course you need enough reps to hit the plan, and enough capacity to hit the plan. But when grow slows, when you miss the plan, more bodies does not solve the problem. In fact, fewer sales reps often in the short term solves the problem. You focus leads and opportunities on the best reps, and then rebuild the sales team from there. Once a VP of Sales that is struggling starts pushing for a lot more sales headcount ... it's time to realize it's not working. It's a hail mary than on paper might work, but in reality, doesn't.

I had the opportunity to moderate a panel at SaaStr on "Going Multi-Product in the Age of AI" with product leaders from Zoom, Rubrik, and ProductBoard. Here are a few key takeaways that are fueling my thinking about AI's role at Webflow. Watch our panel: https://lnkd.in/gGkMtKf9 🔑 Mahesh Ram from Zoom explained how they're integrating AI across multiple products, from note-taking in Zoom meetings to summarizing team chats in real-time. This isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about giving people more time to focus on meaningful work. ✨ AI isn’t just a tool—it's becoming the core of how we work. 🔒 Anneka Gupta from Rubrik shared how AI is helping their users respond faster and more confidently to ransomware attacks. This kind of AI integration isn’t optional—it’s foundational to improving both speed and quality in high-stakes environments. ✨ In mission-critical spaces like cybersecurity, AI accelerates decision-making. 🎨 Hubert Palan from Productboard emphasized that AI’s role isn’t to replace creative decision-making but to complement it by providing data-driven insights that allow teams to innovate faster and smarter. This perspective aligns with how I’m thinking about AI at Webflow—using it as a powerful tool that unlocks new possibilities for our creators. ✨AI amplifies creativity, not replaces it. At Webflow, we’re pushing AI well beyond just efficiency gains; it’s delivering real, tangible value that will change how businesses are run. It’s clear that companies need to evolve quickly or risk being left behind. AI is the foundation of the next wave of product innovation. And, I couldn’t be more excited to apply these insights as Webflow continues to build for the future. Stay tuned for what’s next—we’ve got some big announcements coming at Webflow Conf on October 15th! Register for Webflow Conf to see us unveil the future of the web: https://lnkd.in/gKJaHMxb
