SaaSiest, 2025
Where Growth, AI, and Connection Redefined the Future of SaaS
SaaSiest Amsterdam 2025 wasn’t about chasing the next AI trend or finding a shortcut to scale.
It was about depth. It was about conversations that went beyond growth hacks and explored what real, sustainable SaaS growth looks like today.
No fluff. No endless jargon.
Just founders, operators, and curious minds asking sharper questions about how we build, monetize, and lead in a world where technology changes faster than people do.
For two days, Amsterdam felt less like a conference hall and more like a think tank.
The kind that leaves you inspired, and a little uncomfortable, in all the right ways.
You could tell from the first keynote this wasn’t a spectator show.
Kyle Poyar challenged the room to rethink monetization, reminding everyone that pricing isn’t a spreadsheet, it’s a strategy.
Jen Allen-Knuth cut through the noise on sales outreach: “Stop measuring activity. Start measuring value.”
Kate Newstead unpacked the psychology behind buyer decisions and how design shapes trust more than we realize.
And Dael Williamson? He opened a new chapter: how AI agents will reshape the way we structure teams, not just workflows.
No buzzwords. No hype.
Just the kind of insights that force you to reexamine how you lead and grow.
As always, the best parts didn’t happen on stage.
They happened over coffee, during walks between sessions, or sitting next to someone who turns into your next collaboration.
That’s the magic SaaSiest keeps getting right. It’s designed for operators who want connection, not just content.
There’s something about sharing space with people who’ve been through the same wins, mistakes, and pivots.
You leave with more than notes. You leave with perspective.
A big thank you to Thomas Sjöberg, Daniel Nackovski, and the whole SaaSiest team for curating an event that feels human again.
And a special nod to the strong Macedonian SaaS community that showed up in Amsterdam.
Seeing familiar faces, startups, and teams from our region representing with passion and purpose, that meant a lot.
SaaSiest 2025 reminded us that community isn’t built by algorithms.
It’s built by conversations that challenge, connect, and inspire.
We’ll carry those lessons forward, into the strategies we build, the partnerships we nurture, and the way we lead our teams.
Big gratitude to everyone we met, learned from, and shared ideas with.
Let’s keep building the future of SaaS, one honest conversation at a time.
See you in Amsterdam, 2026.
Behind every event we attend, there’s a spark. A conversation that shifts perspective. A story that sticks. These are the ones worth revisiting.

When Smart Hires Still Go Sideways I spoke about something I’ve learned the hard way:I’ve hired smart people and still ended up with the wrong fit. Not because they lacked experience or couldn’t do the job — but because we didn’t click where it mattered: in how we think, make decisions, handle pressure, or solve
