Equality, Inclusion and Balance
At SaaStr, We strive to make our community the most inclusive gathering of people in our industry.
SaaStr is committed to having the most inclusive community in Cloud and SaaS.
We are proud that the 2020 SaaStr Annual featured a combined 67% 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, and this year’s SaaStr Scale is no different. We’re looking to apply the same standards as well as expanding access to mentorship and venture capital firms and investors in our events.
Our core goals and values at SaaStr include:
Putting on the most inclusive events in the industry
Being an 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 all SaaStr events, including our upcoming digital events in 2020, and next year’s in-person events: SaaStr Annual and SaaStr Europa. They also include priority access to our mentorship and CEO <-> VC matchmaking programs at no costs.
