The SaaStr Equality, Inclusion and Balance Program

HELP US MAKE ANNUAL 2022 THE MOST INCLUSIVE EVENT IN THE HISTORY OF SAAS

SaaStr is committed to having the most inclusive community in Cloud and SaaS. 

We are proud that the 2021 SaaStr Annual featured a combined 73% women and multicultural speakers and have had over 60% women and multicultural speakers at each SaaStr Annual since 2018.  2020, 2021 and beyond have been about striving for the most representative attendee experiences possible, as well as expanding access to mentorship and venture capital firms and investors.

Our core goals and values at SaaStr include:

  1. Putting on the most inclusive events in the industry and

  2. Being as inclusive a community as possible.

We believe that true innovation depends on hearing from, meeting with, and listening to people with a variety of perspectives and diverse backgrounds. We want our events, and the community and companies who participate in them, to include, encourage, and recognize people of all races, ethnicities, genders, ages, abilities, religions, sexual orientation, and military service.

To support those goals, among other initiatives, we offer 1,500+ VIP Equality + Inclusion Passports a year at no cost.

These VIP passports include full, no-cost access to SaaStr Annual and SaaStr Europa. They also include priority access to our mentorship and CEO <-> VC matchmaking programs at no cost.

If you would like to recommend a colleague or friend for our EIB program, please share their details here and we’ll reach out with a quick email letting them know.

The SaaStr Annual 2022 inclusion program is full. If you would like to recommend someone for 2023 and beyond, we’ll reach out when the programs are launched.
