SaaStr 2025: 10,000 Leaders, One Common Thread—Speed
SaaStr Annual returns May 13–15 to the Bay Area.

This year’s theme? AI + B2B: Today, Tomorrow, and the Future.
But beneath the buzzwords, here’s what’s actually happening:
Speed is non-negotiable—in hiring, outbound, and revenue execution
CROs are compressing sales cycles by weeks
RevOps leaders are replacing tech stacks that slow them down
Founders are deploying AI where it creates measurable output, not just optics
With 300+ speakers, 1,000+ networking sessions, and every tier of GTM leadership in one place, it’s where real change conversations happen.
If you're scaling to $100M+ ARR, you're either attending or watching closely.
What’s your main reason for attending? |
I’ll be there alongside VCs, CROs, and GTM operators running side conversations on:
How RevOps teams are hiring faster without churn
How outbound is changing (and where reply rates are hiding)
What “lean GTM” actually looks like in 2025

The Cheapest AI SDR Tool Just Outperformed Everyone Else
Jesper Qvist, CEO of SalesTools.io, dropped this stat bomb this week:
Same inputs. Same leads. Same volume.
And yet...
Tool | Price | Positive Replies | Cost/Reply |
---|---|---|---|
11x.ai | $5,000 | 2 | $2,500 |
Artisan.co | $1,650 | 3 | $550 |
AISDR.com | $4,800 | 4 | $1,200 |
SalesTools.io | $850 | 68 | $12.50 |
“It’s not about how many you send. It’s about inbox placement and whether they write back.”
He’s right.
Open rates don’t move pipeline. Replies do.
Cost-per-reply is the only metric worth tracking.
Most AI tools are overbuilt and underperforming.
