Saastr Was More Than An Event: It Was A Union Of Innovation, Opportunity, And Experience

We at Convin aspire to add value to the world of SaaS. And nothing could be better than attending the SaaStr APAC 2023 to share our journey and absorb impeccable knowledge from other businesses!

Marking the union of 1,000+ SaaS Founders, Execs, and VCs, SaaStr was held on the 22nd and 23rd of February at the Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre. The event commenced with excitement and exhilaration with a grand Opening Night VIP Reception with SaaStr and Sequoia Capital India and Southeast Asia.

Convin was represented by Atul Shree (Co-Founder & CTO), Durgesh Choudhary (Co-Founder), Kushaal Verma (GTM Lead), and Lalitendu Bal (Product Manager).

“It was indeed a very vibrant community with a mix of Indian, SEA, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Founders along with VCs, sales heads, and other professionals.” expresses Atul Shree, Co-Founder and CTO.

Day 1 opened the gates to the Networking event, where companies such as Ahrefs, Sequoia, GGVCAPITAL, and many more joined hands for an enriching evening.

Here are some key discussions witnessed in the event along with the delicious spread of food and beverages:

• Discovering various SaaS tools and how companies strategize business with innovation. 
• Learning the difference between the APAC and Indian markets.
• The age of automation tools with leaders representing them live in the event. 
• How India and APAC have huge potential to be the world's next economic powerhouse.
• Great insights on how to run and build a startup from early to advanced stages.

Day 2 raised the bar to our excitement levels as we awaited the onset of the two events, “Braindate” and “Speakers. Speakers, and More Speakers!”

Speakers. Speakers and More Speakers saw a consortium of leaders from Figma, Ahrefs, Sequoia, and many more who exhibited crucial business-centric discussions like product-led growth (PLG), SaaS, company culture, scaling, etc. 

Simultaneously, Braindates was a mutual one-on-one and group mentoring event inviting speakers from the participants to share their knowledge and encourage new learnings, mentorships, partnerships, and exchange strategies. 

The Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre got livelier with all the SaaS innovators, leaders, Execs, and VCs, along with booths placed everywhere represented by companies like Lark, Vanta, Stripe, Chargebee, etc.

To wrap up the perfect SaaStr APAC Singapore 2023 event and head back to India with wholesome hearts, what could be more exciting than complementing it with a Happy Hour and Closing Reception?
