The 2025 SaaStr EqUity, Inclusion, and Balance Program

HELP US MAKE ANNUAL 2025 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 2018-2024 SaaStr Annuals have featured over 60% women and multicultural speakers at each event.  We strive 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 1,000+ VIP Equality + Inclusion Passes a year at no cost.
